Abstract: In Lab-on-a-chip (LOC) devices, an electrowetting on dielectric (EWOD) method can be performed to create, cut, mix, and transport droplets. Moreover, the micro assembly process of micro parts can be manipulated by the EWOD system. High accuracy of droplet motion in both applictions is required. Based on the simplified model, the feedback control such as sliding mode control can be applied so that the droplet motion can achieve a high accuracy performance under disturbances. However, the sliding mode control often has chattering problem. Thus, in this study, the fuzzy sliding mode control was applied to manipulate the droplet in the EWOD system. The study was conducted via simulation in MATLAB environment. The result showed that the proposed control method could provide an accurate motion control with lower chattering compared to that of classical sliding mode control.
