Microrobot conceptual video concerning our research activity as reported in the Journal of Micromechanics and Microengineering ( http://www.iop.org/EJ/journal/JMM ). We have the microbot swimming now, and hope to untether it this year. Please see http://mnrl.monash.edu for more info (MicroNanophysics Research Laboratory at Monash University). Thanks to Magipics (www.magipics.com.au) for the excellent animation!
