designing artificial cilia that would act as pumps and mixers in microfluidicdevices. The artificial cilia would be periodically driven by an external force, for example by an electric or a magnetic field, and as long as it beats in an asymmetric manner, it should generate flow. Initial attempts to create

chemical, physical and medical fields [1]. A common example is their employment in microfluidicdevices: Due to their permanent magnetic moment, they can be controlled via external, inhomogeneous magnetic fields [2] and also be detected by magnetoresistive sensors [3] which allows for the magneto-based
