“…In the literature, standing wave levitation are largely divided into two categories. The first kind is referred to as the single axis [69], [85], [86], [87], [88], [96], [102], [103], [104], [105], [106] and it is consists of a reflector and a transducer (or two opposing transducers), where the standing wave field is produced between them. The second type creates a standing wave field in one of the cavity's acoustic modes using a closed resonant chamber [90], [107], [108].…”

Robots play an important role all over the world in the industrial field in terms of dealing with various materials, performing duties quickly and high accuracy as well as in the pharmaceutical/chemical field since robots can handle some issues better than human. Robotic manipulation is the term used to describe how robots deal with many objects. This article reviews the contact and non-contact manipulation with their most common robotic applications and focusing on the non-contact manipulation since it can do specific tasks which contact manipulation cannot do. Reviewing of the robotic non-contact manipulation which include the metal-based robotic manipulation such as magnetic and electrostatic levitation and the non-metal-based robotic manipulation method such as aerodynamic and acoustic levitation have been made in this article. The main core of this article is acoustic levitation which considered one of the most important levitation and manipulation method due to the recent advancements that made it proper to deal with any kind of materials. Here, we review the renowned three methods of acoustic levitation that already using in robotic non-contact manipulation which are standing wave, near-field and single-beam acoustic levitation. Then, we present a performance characteristic of the reviewed methods and the summary of controlling strategies, followed by conclusion and future recommendations for acoustic levitation methods as a non-contact manipulation.

“…Hong et al demonstrated a significant rise in acoustic radiation force (ARF) on the reflector at resonant states and revealed the relationship between ARF and height [11]. References [12][13][14] studied the effects of different curvatures of emitting and reflecting surfaces on ARF for single-axis levitators. Yadav and Gupta investigated the impact of expanding the reflector on the ARF of the first three resonance modes [15].…”

Acoustic levitation manipulation technology holds significant potential for applications in chemistry, biology, medicine, and micro-robotics due to its contact-less, adaptability, and safety advantages. The use of ultrasonic phased array is widespread in acoustic levitation, and the arrangement of the array plays a crucial role in this process. This study investigates the impact of array arrangement on concave and planar arrays. The acoustic levitation performance of concave and planar arrays is analysed with the maximum acoustic radiation force (ARF) and levitation range. The results indicate that concave and planar arrays exhibit similar trends with height in terms of ARF and levitation range and having a maximum value (for concave array, R = 38 mm and H = 67 mm in the z-axis, R = 34 mm and H = 61 mm in the x-axis, and for planar array, H = 66 mm in the long side and H= 55 mm in the short side). However, each array type’s ARF and levitation range variety follow opposite trends, with a maximum value when R = 90 mm and H = 195 mm for concave array and H = 165 mm for planar array. Adjusting the inclination of the array makes it possible to enhance the ARF and expand the control range. Furthermore, the optimal operating region of a concave array is concentrated at the intersection of the spherical axis (R = H/2 when varying the curvature and height, ϕ = φ when rotavating), while the planar array offers a broader range of manipulation due to its insensitivity to minor variations. This research reveals the influence of array arrangement on ARF and levitation range, providing valuable insights for designing and optimizing acoustic levitation devices.
