Synchronization in nonlinear micro-oscillators provides a powerful platform for uncovering complex coupling dynamics and achieving high-precision control. This lecture focuses on the fundamental mechanisms and regulation strategies of synchronization, with particular emphasis on how nonlinear effects contribute to reduced synchronization time, bandwidth expansion, and enhanced frequency stability. The results offer theoretical insights and design guidance for high-performance sensing, signal processing, and microscale system control. Furthermore, the talk explores cross-scale applications of synchronized motion in acoustic robotics and medical devices, highlighting its potential for collective coordination and precision manipulation.
