The master-slave suction/exhalation we proposed for micromanipulation enables remote operation between a master and slave. Specifically, solenoid valves connected to pressure sources controlled by Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) generate suction or exhalation at the end of a straw based on an air flow generated by an operator. Our exploration of its basic performance, i.e., force generation capability and response, demonstrates its micromanipulation potential.
