Position Measurement/Tracking Comparison of the Instrumentation in a Droplet-Actuated-Robotic Platform

This paper reports our work on developing a surface tension actuated micro-robotic platform supported by three bubbles (liquid environment) or droplets (gaseous environment). The actuation principle relies on the force developed by surface tension below a millimeter, which benefits from scaling laws...
