However, controlling liquid\u2010bridge formation and retraction under non\u2010ideal interfacial conditions remains challenging. Here, we report a switchable liquid\u2010bridge adhesion strategy using a two\u2010tiered stamp with spatially patterned wettability. Boundary\u2010guided pinning confines liquid spreading to form a stable bridge for pickup and guides liquid retraction toward bridge breakup for controlled release. This design converts liquid\u2010bridge adhesion from an uncontrolled capillary phenomenon into a controllable interfacial mechanism. The strategy enables preload\u2010free adhesion switching, tunable adhesion forces, robust manipulation across surfaces with diverse roughness and wettability, and damage\u2010free contact with fragile microstructures. Integrated with a robotic platform, the stamp functions as a liquid\u2010bridge\u2010based robotic end effector for pick\u2010and\u2010place manipulation and robotic placement, providing a route toward ultra\u2010gentle manufacturing and microelectronic assembly.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/adma.75399","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,10,15]],"date-time":"2026-10-15T08:47:54Z","timestamp":1792054074000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Boundary
