3D Robotic Control of Micro-Scale Optical Swarms at an Interface

ICRA 2026poster

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…

Manipulation of Optical Force-Induced Micro-Assemblies at the Air-Liquid Interface

IROS 2023poster

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…
