Capillary Force Gripper for Complex-Shaped Micro-Objects With Fast Droplet Forming by On-Off Control of a Piston Slider

In this letter, we describe the newly proposed capillary force gripper that combines fast water refilling via the capillary phenomenon and fast droplet forming via the ON-OFF control of a piston slider. The capillary force is suitable for capturing and releasing heterogeneous and complex-shaped micr
