Magnetic manipulation of particles at close vicinity is a challenging task. In this paper, we propose simultaneous and independent manipulation of two identical particles at close vicinity using two mobile robotic electromagnetic needles. We developed a neural network that can predict the magnetic flux density gradient for any given needle positions. Using the neural network, we developed a control algorithm to solve the optimal needle positions that generate the forces in the required directions while keeping a safe distance between the two needles and particles. We applied our method in five typical cases of simultaneous and independent microparticle manipulation, with the closest particle separation of 30 μm.
