- [Gallery](https://graspion.be/gallery/): Gallery Synthetic tissue Using the GRASPion® we are able to create and study synthetic tissue of over 60 soft particles. We demonstrate that the tissue undergoes a phase transition from a gas, to a solid and finally a liquid phase, as seen in the videos. Liquid Solid Gas Synthetic cell in ratchet By putting a synthetic cell with a GRASPion® in an asymmetric channel, we demonstrate that its motion becomes directed towards a single direction, i.e. it undergoes rectification, similar to what is observed with biological cells.

- [Home](https://graspion.be/): THE SMARTEST RESEARCH-ORIENTED ROBOtic bug GRASPion® About The GRASPion® is a new type of a small, programmable robot based around vibration technology, developed completely at the University of Liège. How it works The GRASPion® uses two small vibration motors to move and direct its motion through bouncing up and down. It can be fully remote controlled through IR technology, or programmed directly through its onboard microprocessor. Being based around the Arduino platform, the GRASPion® is fully open-source and easy-to-use, making it user-friendly for students and researchers alike. Why use the GRASPion®? The GRASPion® provides an easy entry into experimental research […]
