Hybrid Optothermal-Magnetic Mobile Microgripper for In-Liquid Micromanipulation

In this letter, we propose a mobile microgripper actuated using laser optothermal and magnetic actuation in liquid environments. This hybrid actuation scheme allows the full decoupling between the in-plane positioning of the mobile microgripper and the actuation of its gripping mechanism, which redu
