Zusammenfassung:As we all know, chopsticks can hold food, so can we use this method to carry Newtonian fluids such as droplets? This paper studies the process of this transfer and uses this method to realize the manipulation of open microfluidics by robots. To realize this transfer operation, we first analyzed the force of droplets in this chopstick-like structure and found that the bidirectional movement of droplets in this structure can be achieved by changing the structural parameters. Afterward, the whole process of the transfer of droplets using the chopstick-like structure was analyzed, and the parameter requirements for realizing this transfer were determined. The research in this paper provides a theoretical basis for the controllable manipulation of droplets which can be widely used in unmanned laboratories
