AbstractThe magnetic microrobots actuated by an external magnetic field can access distant, enclosed, and small spaces under fuel‐free conditions, which is apromising technology for manipulation and delivery under microenvironment; however, the complicated fabrication method limits their applications. Herein, three techniques including melt electrospinning writing (MEW), micromolding, and skiving process are combined to successfully mass‐produce tadpole‐like magnetic polycaprolactone/Fe3O4 (PCL/Fe3O4) microrobot. Importantly, the tadpole‐like microrobots under an external magnetic field can achieve two locomotions: rolling mode and propulsion mode. The rolling motion can approach the working destination quickly with a speed of ≈2 mm s−1. The propulsion motion (0−340 µm s−1) can handle a microcargo. Such a simple and cost‐effective production method shows a great potential for scale‐up fabrication of advanced shape‐design, mass‐production, and multifunctionality microrobot.
