Ultrasound-activated ciliary bands for microrobotic systems inspired by starfish

Most engineered ciliary bands generate simple hydrodynamics with unidirectional flow profiles. Here, inspired by the starfish larva, the authors show acoustically-activated microrobots with cilia that can control direction of liquid flow through oscillations, exhibiting propulsion at microscales.
