Flow Patterns Made By an Acoustic Hydrogel Microrobot

Caption

The flow patterns generated by an acoustic hydrogel microrobot vibrating at its resonant frequency were analyzed using advanced methods, including tracking tiny particles in water and computer-based simulations. The position of the microrobot's two openings are clearly visible here.
