We demonstrate the applicability of self-propulsion as a passive driving mechanism for droplets in chemically-confined microfluidics. The droplets can be used to transport considerably sized solid cargo particles. We implemented thermal actuation as a steering mechanism for the droplets at fluidic junctions.
