Abstract
Recent topics in the development of micromagnetic actuators in Japan a re reviewed. Electromagnetic microactuators less than 1 mm in diameter , e.g. micromotor, and microvalves have been fabricated and their high performance has been demonstrated. A new type microactuator based upo n magnetostriction has also been developed and has shown a large canti lever deflection. In addition, some models of the microrobots using mi cromagnetic actuators were able to move using a wireless remote power supply.
