Aquatic soft robots have drawn attention toward biomedical applications. Recently, we demonstrated orbital maneuverability of magnetic soft robots with agile velocity up to 60 body length per second on substrates by rotating linearly connected two permanent magnets. Upon varied rotational frequency of the magnets, soft robots conducted trimodal rotation including rotating, pivoting, and tumbling, facilitating control of orbital radius and orbital velocity. In this presentation, we will discuss the effects of viscosity on rotation and revolution of the magnetic soft robots in glycerol-water solutions. Furthermore, we will demonstrate underwater swimmability of the magnetic soft robots in artificial blood vessels filled with viscous solution with similar viscosity of normal blood vessel.
