Abstract
Micro-robotics extends the reach of human-controlled machines to sub-millimeter dimensions. Here we introduce the first micro-robotic system that relies on optoelectronic tweezers. The optoelectronic micro-robots described here are straightforward to manufacture and can be programmed to carry out sophisticated, multi-axis operations. One particularly useful program is a serial combination of “load,” “transport,” and “deliver,” which can be applied to manipulate a wide range of micron-dimension payloads.
