The video demonstrates the actuation principle of programmable ceramic microscrolls. Driven by a magnetic field, the microscrolls rapidly unroll while lifting a load more than 30 times their own weight before autonomously rolling back, demonstrating their potential as miniature actuators for future micro- and soft robotic systems.
