We developed a droplet microfluidics approach that achieves versatile droplet manipulation in various extreme scenarios associated with superhydrophilic surfaces, and applied it to an in vivo clinical setting for the rapid and safe removal of thrombus as well as drug delivery.

Automated Acoustic Manipulation System

Automated Acoustic Manipulation System
Mingyue Wang, Siyuan An, Zhenhuan Sun, Jiaqi Li, Yang Wang, and Song Liu* (Corresponding Author) DOI: 10.1109/TRO.2024.3521858

The system has large workspace, reaching 50 × 50 mm square, making it readily usable for standard in-petri dish applications to carry up complicated analysis tasks in practice

The system has 2500 independent transducers, resulting in the excellence in generating high-fidelity acoustic fields

Real-time Acoustic Holography with Iterative Unsupervised Learning for Acoustic Robotic Manipulation

Real-time Acoustic Holography

This paper is awarded ICRA Finalist 2025.

In this paper, an automated ultrasonic manipulation system is introduced for in-plane soft micro-fiber manipulation, which mainly consists of an ultrasonic transducer array and a microscope. A real-time trap generation algorithm is designed to manipulate the micro-fibers by the visual feedback from microscope.
