This proposed research is motivated from the development of                     intelligent micro-robots for manipulating microscopic objects.                  Attention is focused on the manipulation and control of microscopic             particles immersed in a fluid medium.  The proposed approach is to use          a guided travelling surface wave for steering particles immersed in a           fluid layer.                                                                                                                                                    The proposed study consists of two phases.  The initial phase is                devoted to a theoretical and computational study of various problems            associated with the proposed idea, in particular, the conditions under          which particle trapping is attainable, and the development of                   applicable methods for manipulation and control.  This phase is                 followed by an experimental study for determining the range of                  validity of the theoretical results, and the practicality of the                proposed approach.  The proposed idea involves the control of a                 nonlinear distributed system in which the domain shape is the control           variable.
