Summary:
Micro-bead arrays/patterns have potential for sensing tools in various scientific fields such as medicine, biochemistry, and so on. Laser trapping is an eminently suitable tool for dynamical handling of micro-beads. Here we demonstrate the fully automated assembly of micro-bead patterns by the control of an isolated-point-type laser trapping field in time domain. Several tens of micro-beads automatically form the specified patterns from random initial positions, and subsequent metamorphoses succeed.
