  abstract = {Magnetic manipulations of microrobots are a promising
    solution to improve common biomedical applications, and in
    particular, ophthalmic minimally invasive surgery (MIS). To achieve
    this goal a key issue still relies on the design of a suitable
    electromagnetic actuation (EMA) platform. The study of improving the
    EMA system is the scope of this paper. The investigated EMA testbed
    comprises four static and four independent moving electromagnets,
    firstly devoted to delicate retinal procedures with intraocular
    microrobots. Specifically, the mobile coils are set into rotation
    thanks to robotic arms. Analyses and simulations are performed to
    demonstrate the effectiveness of the additional robotic arms. The
    results show that the robotized EMA system increases the versatility
    of the classical magnetic manipulation system and improves their
    flexibility.}
