Orbital Characterization Study for the Hydrodynamic Micro Tweezers: Simulated Performance with a Passive Particle

Abstract

Trapping and selecting a particle intelligently is aspired for the robotic systems in bioengineering. The key element of the process is not to damage the sample when working at a micro-scale. With physical damage, not only the sample would be lost but also the experimental measurements would be useless. The tweezer aims to capture, trapping and manipulating the micro-scale particles. Many types of research presented that there exist diverse types of tweezers which can manipulate particles to a degree. With the help of the hydrodynamic micro tweezer, the particle can be easily captured, manipulated. Furthermore, the stable trajectory of the particle can be determined thanks to the mathematical model presented here. In this paper, we investigated orbital stability and conducted characterization simulations for a hydrodynamic micro tweezers system capturing a rigid spherical particle. © 2021 IEEE.
