Microassembly is becoming increasingly critical in modern smart manufacturing, placing higher demands on system performance—particularly for in situ and in vivo applications in biomedicine, photonics, sensors, and microrobotics. Non-contact mechanical microassembly has emerged as a promising solutio…
Peripheral nerve injuries represent a significant clinical challenge in reconstructive surgery, traumatology, and neurosurgery, often leading to permanent sensorimotor deficits and diminished life quality. Thus, achieving precise epineurial suturing without nerve fascicle damage and tension remains …
Miniature adhesive patches (MAPs) are widely used in medicine for tissue repair, wound healing, and biosensing applications. Despite considerable advances in medical robotics, the automated in vivo delivery of MAPs remains a formidable challenge due to the intricate nature of biological environments
Knot tying is an essential task for robotic surgery, which is routinely realized by dual-arm robotic manipulation. Despite the well-established protocol and progress at macro scale so far, there remain challenges to further advance robotic knot tying technique, particularly in terms of decreasing sp…
Non-contact particle cluster manipulation holds significant promise in the realms of advanced manufacturing, chemistry, and pharmacy. However, achieving precise and dynamic control over the spatial kinematics of particle clusters remains a significant challenge, necessitating real-time and accuratel
Phase-only acoustic holography is a fundamental and promising technique for contactless robotic manipulation. Through independently controlling phase-only hologram (POH) of phase array of transducers (PAT) and simultaneously driving each channel by sophisticated circuits, a certain acoustic field is…
Ultrafast acoustic holography (AH) enabling dynamic contactless micro-nano robotic manipulation has recently attracted wide attention. As an advanced technique, AH encodes specific three-dimensional (3D) acoustic field on a two-dimensional (2D) hologram whereby realizing holographic reconstruction w…
