Zusammenfassung:Photochemical control of the motion of surface active Belousov–Zhabotinsky (BZ) droplets in an oil-surfactant medium is carried out with illumination intensity gradients. Droplet motion is analyzed under conditions of constant uniform illumination and a constant illumination gradient. Control of droplet motion is developed by testing different illumination gradients. Complex hypotrochoid target trajectories are tracked by BZ droplets illuminated with two-dimensional V-shaped gradients.
