Ultrasonic Microrobotics in Liquids
This lecture covers the development of ultrasonic microrobotics in liquids, based on over 15 years of research by various experts. Topics include ultrasonic manipulation, acoustic radiation force, Gor'kov's theory, particle positioning, and 2D modeling. The lecture also explores the applications of ultrasonic manipulation in areas such as cell positioning, single cell analysis, and particle manipulation inside droplets. The speaker presents experimental setups, numerical modeling, and the acoustophoretic alignment of cells inside hydrogel. The lecture concludes with discussions on various modes of operation, numerical models, and the wide range of applications in robotics, medical analysis, tissue engineering, and advanced manufacturing.
