Magnetic Miniature Actuators Magnetic miniature robots have great potential to transform robotics, materials science and biomedicine. In article number 2100259 , Zhan Lum and co‐workers present a magnetic miniature robot that has seven modes of soft‐bodied locomotion with six‐degrees‐of‐freedom. To exhibit its unprecedented dexterity, this untethered robot is commanded to negotiate across obstacles, which are impassable by existing small‐scale devices.
