Researchers found an efficient way to expand the collective behavior of swarming microrobots: Mixing different sizes of the micron-scale bots enables them to self-organize into diverse patterns that can be manipulated when a magnetic field is applied. The technique even allows the swarm to 'cage' passive objects and then expel them.
