Millirobots that can be actuated and accurately steered by external magnetic fields, are highly desirable for bioengineering and wearable devices. However, existing designs of millirobots are limited by their specific material composition, hindering their wider application due to a lack of scalability. Here, we present a method for the generation of heterogeneous magnetic millirobots based on magnetic coatings. The coatings, composed of hard-magnetic CrO2 particles dispersed in an adhesive solution, impart magnetic actuation to diverse substrates with planar sheets or 3D structures. Millirobots constructed from the coatings can be readily reprogrammed with intricate magnetization profiles using laser localized heating, enabling reconfigurable shape changes under magnetic actuation. Using this approach, we demonstrate on-demand maneuvering capability of reconfiguring locomotion involving crawling, overturning and rolling with a single millirobot. Various functions, including the ability to catch a fast-moving ball, object transportation, and targeted assembly, have been achieved. This adhesive strategy facilitates the design of millirobots and may open avenues to the creation of complex millirobots for broad applications.
