Abstract

This diploma project aimed at exploring dielectrophoresis as the means of noncontact, massively parallel and stochastic planar manipulation of meso- (and possibly also micro-) scale objects. As a result of the thesis, complete experimental setup for manipulation 50-micron polystyrene beads was designed, built and used to conduct numerous experiments. These were also supported by numerical simulations, which help find a simple yet useful control strategy.
