N2 - This paper presents a novel application based on the bio-inspired motion of the Amoeba. This research is focused on development a soft micro robot based on the Amoeba locomotion which can be named Whole Skin Locomotion. The robot is created using the fluid filled toroid method that acts as a body shaping feature with ferrofluid material placed within that is delivered to create the driving force. The passive fluid switch acts as an active sensitive liquid when a magnetic field is applied. Therefore, based on this behaviour in order to produce the driving motion external Electromagnetic coils are arranged as a wireless control and actuator. A number of motions and hindrances are currently presented to insure the principal motions of the robot. Some other approaches of ferrofluid soft-robot biomimetic inspired are also presented as well.
