Magnetic motors are a class of out-of-equilibrium particles that exhibit controlled and fast motion overcoming Brownian fluctuations by harnessing external magnetic fields. The advances in this field resulted in motors that have been used for different applications, such as biomedicine or environmental remediation. In this Perspective, an overview of the recent advancements of magnetic motors is provided, with a special focus on controlled motion. This aspect extends from trapping, steering, and guidance to organized motor grouping and degrouping, which is known as swarm control. Further, the integration of magnetic motors in soft robots to actuate their motion is also discussed. Finally, some remarks and perspectives of the field are outlined.
磁性马达是一类非平衡粒子，通过利用外部磁场控制和快速运动，克服布朗运动的涨落。这一领域的进展导致了各种应用的马达的出现，如生物医学或环境修复。在本观点中，提供了磁性马达的最新进展的概述，特别关注受控运动。这一方面从捕获、转向和引导扩展到有组织的马达分组和解组，这被称为群体控制。此外，还讨论了将磁性马达集成到软机器人中以驱动其运动的问题。最后，概述了该领域的一些评论和观点。
