Optical force-induced assembly is a promising yet scarcely explored approach for developing functional tools and objects at the microscale, with a wide range of potential applications. Our previous work was the first to investigate the manipulation of these assemblies in the XY plane. Here, we expan…

Colloidal particles trapped by a focused laser at the air-liquid interface provide an interesting assembly dynamic. In this study, we demonstrated manipulating optical force-induced swarms via dynamic locomotion of assemblies built with holographic optical tweezers. This manipulation approach builds…
Human gut microbiota can provide comprehensive information about the health of a host but the tools to collect microbiome samples are not currently available. A standalone wireless robotic capsule that has been developed in this study, collects the microbiota both from lumen (capsule surrounding) an
In this paper, we propose manipulation ability extension of the optical tweezers by developing microhands, which are to use as end-effectors of the laser beam. First, three different 3D micro-scale handles are designed, then manufactured by the two-photon polymerization method with nano-scale resolu…
