Abstract

Shape morphing of liquid droplets is important for advances in both medical and industrial applications. However current manipulation techniques lack methods to control shapes other than elliptical-shaped droplets. Here we propose using Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) based model to learn and predict the evolution of the shape of a non-magnetic liquid droplet at an air-ferrofluid interface deformed with programmed sequential actuation of electromagnets. The resulting droplet shapes can be convex or concave. We can also predict the actuation sequences for a given shape sequence with an accuracy of 79.1 %. The proposed method could also be applied to a variety of other liquid droplet shape-morphing systems which utilize arrays of electromagnetic or electric actuators.
