Zusammenfassung:System and method that allow to jointly cause movement of multiple micro-and-nano-objects to desired positions are described. A high speed camera tracks the locations of the objects. An array of electrodes is used to generate a dynamic potential energy landscape for manipulating objects with both DEP and EP forces. One or more computing devices are used to: process images captured by the camera to estimate positions of the objects; use model predictive control optimization to obtain trajectories and electrode potentials for moving at least some of the objects from estimated positions to further positions; and control the electrodes based on electrode potentials.
