This paper describes a method for automated liquid manipulation by using a ferrofluid-based robotic sheet. The robotic sheet automatically moves a target liquid to a goal using the deformation characteristics of a ferrofluid and a visual feedback control with a camera. On the basis of previous findings regarding the flexibility of robotic sheets, we realized that our system could manually move a target liquid, such as water. In this paper, we elucidate the feasibility of the automatic manipulation and behavior of the target liquid during manipulation. Also, we quantify liquid mixing and elucidate the effect of the oscillation characteristics on this result.
