POMDP-Based Real-Time Path Planning for Manipulation of Multiple Microparticles via Optoelectronic Tweezers.

ABSTRACT: With high throughput and high flexibility, optoelectronic tweezers (OETs) hold huge potential for massively parallel micromanipulation. However, the trajectory of the virtual electrode has been planned in advance in most synchronous manipulations for multiple targets based on an optically induced dielectrophoresis (ODEP) mechanism, which is insufficient to ensure the stability and efficiency in an environment with potential collision risk. In this paper, a synchronously discretized manipulation method based on a centralized and decoupled path planner is proposed for transporting microparticles of different types with an OET platform. An approach based on the Kuhn-Munkres algorithm is utilized to achieve the goal assignment between target microparticles and goal positions. With the assistan
