Acoustic levitation in mid-air: recent advances, challenges, and future perspectives
Mid-air acoustic levitation is becoming a powerful tool to suspend and manipulate millimetric objects. Because of its unique characteristics, acoustic levitation is suitable to trap a wide variety of materials such as ... -
Acoustophoretic volumetric displays using a fast-moving levitated particle
Displays have revolutionized the way we work and learn, and thus, the development of display technologies is of paramount importance. The possibility of a free-space display in which 3D graphics can be viewed from 360° ... -
Automatic contactless injection, transportation, merging, and ejection of droplets with a multifocal point acoustic levitator
We present an acoustic levitation system that automatically injects, transports, merges and ejects liquid droplets in mid-air. The system consists of a phased array operating at 40 kHz on top of a plane reflector. The phase ... -
Autonomous robot for construction stake out
Design, develop and commercial deployment of an autonomous marking device for construction stake out. -
Complex selective manipulations of thermomagnetic programmable matter
Programmable matter can change its shape, stiffness or other physical properties upon command. Previous work has shown contactless optically controlled matter or magnetic actuation, but the former is limited in strength ... -
Contactless pick-and-place of millimetric objects using inverted near-field acoustic levitation
We model and realize an ultrasonic contactless pick-and-place device capable of picking, self-centering, self-orienting, translating, and releasing flat millimetric objects. The device is an ultrasonic Langevin transducer ... -
Content adaptation and depth perception in an affordable multi-view display
We present SliceView, a simple and inexpensive multi-view display made with multiple parallel translucent sheets that sit on top of a regular monitor; each sheet reflects different 2D images that are perceived cumulatively. ... -
Experimental evaluation of distortion in amplitude modulation techniques for parametric loudspeakers
Parametric loudspeakers can generate a highly directional beam of sound, having applications in targeted audio delivery. Audible sound modulated into an ultrasonic carrier will get self-demodulated along the highly directive ... -
Experimental investigation of the particle oscillation instability in a single-axis acoustic levitator
Single-axis acoustic levitators are employed in biomedicine, chemistry and physics experiments due to their ability to trap in mid-air objects of a wide range of materials and sizes. Although this type of levitator has ... -
Exploring the addition of audio input to wearable punch recognition
(Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), 2019) Contribución a congreso / Biltzarrerako ekarpenaMartial arts can promote healthy lifestyles, improve self-confidence and provide self-defence skills. Previous work has demonstrated that inertial sensors can be used to recognise movements such as punches in boxing and ... -
Generating airborne ultrasonic amplitude patterns using an open hardware phased array
Holographic methods from optics can be adapted to acoustics for enabling novel applications in particle manipulation or patterning by generating dynamic custom-tailored acoustic fields. Here, we present three contributions ... -
Holographic acoustic elements for manipulating levitating particles. Applications in human-computer interaction
En esta tesis doctoral demostramos simultáneamente atrapamiento 3D, traslación y rotación de las partículas utilizando dispositivos de una sola cara. Esto se logra mediante el ajuste de manera óptima los retardos de fase ... -
Holographic acoustic elements for manipulation of levitated objects
Sound can levitate objects of different sizes and materials through air, water and tissue. This allows us to manipulate cells, liquids, compounds or living things without touching or contaminating them. However, acoustic ... -
Holographic acoustic tweezers
Acoustic tweezers use sound radiation forces to manipulate matter without contact. They provide unique characteristics compared with the more established optical tweezers, such as higher trapping forces per unit input power ... -
Interactions with digital mountains: tangible, immersive and touch interactive virtual reality
(Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), 2020) Contribución a congreso / Biltzarrerako ekarpenaDigitization of Earth mountains and terrains has facilitated to plan journeys, manage natural resources, and learn about the Earth from the comfort of our homes. We aim to develop new interactions on digital mountains with ... -
An interdisciplinary design of an interactive cultural heritage visit for in-situ, mixed reality and affective experiences
Interactive technologies, such as mixed-reality and natural interactions with avatars, can enhance cultural heritage and the experience of visiting a museum. In this paper, we present the design rationale of an interactive ... -
LeviPrint: contactless additive manufacturing using acoustic levitation with position and orientation control of elongated parts
LeviPrint assembles small objects in a contactless way using ultrasonic phased-arrays and optimization algorithms. We explore a set of methods that enables 6 Degrees-of-Freedom (DoF) control of elongated bodies. We then ... -
LeviSense: a platform for the multisensory integration in levitating food and insights into its effect on flavour perception
Eating is one of the most multisensory experiences in everyday life. All of our five senses (i.e. taste, smell, vision, hearing and touch) are involved, even if we are not aware of it. However, while multisensory integration ... -
Numerical and experimental investigation of the stability of a drop in a single-axis acoustic levitator
Acoustic levitation can be employed to hold liquid drops in midair, enabling novel applications in X-ray scattering of proteins, amorphous crystallization of solutions, or contactless mixing. Multiple studies have characterized ... -
