  abstract = {Magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) are very attractive
    components in many biomedical applications, particularly as
    therapeutic magnetic microcarriers (TMMC). Although MNPs can be
    effectively gathered and transported using external magnetic fields,
    the optimal delivery is yet to be fully investigated. In this
    letter, we discuss the modeling and the characterization of
    deformable soft magnetic microrobots under various magnetic field
    conditions. The microrobots considered consist of superparamagnetic
    iron oxide (SPIO) immersed in different carrier fluids, and the
    behavior of which has been characterized experimentally under weak
    magnetic fields. The experimental results clearly show that the
    observations properly follow the model prediction.}
