Superparamagnetic colloidal particles can be reversibly assembled into wheel-like structures called microwheels ($mu$wheels) which roll on surfaces due to friction and can be driven at user-controlled speeds and directions using rotating magnetic fields. Here, we describe the hardware and software to create and control the magnetic fields that assemble and direct wheel motion and the optics to visualize them. Motivated by portability, adaptability and low-cost, an extruded aluminum heat dissipating frame incorporating open optics and audio speaker coils outfitted with high magnetic permeability cores was constructed. Open-source software was developed to define the magnitude, frequency, and orientation of the magnetic field, allowing for real time joystick control of $mu$wheels through two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) fluidic environments. With this combination of hardware and software, $mu$wheels translate at speeds up to 50 $mu$m/s through sample sizes up to 5 cm x 5 cm x 5 cm using 0.75-2.5 mT magnetic fields with rotation frequencies of 5-40 Hz. Heat dissipation by aluminum coil clamps maintained sample temperatures within 3 C of ambient temperature, a range conducive for biological applications. With this design, $mu$wheels can be manipulated and imaged in 2D and 3D networks at length scales of micrometers to centimeters
We consider a dynamical system with two sources of uncertainties: (1) parameterized input with a known probability distribution and (2) stochastic input-to-response (ItR) function with heteroscedastic randomness. Our purpose is to efficiently quantif
The Duffing oscillator is a nonlinear extension of the ubiquitous harmonic oscillator and as such plays an outstanding role in science and technology. Experimentally, the system parameters are determined by a measurement of its response to an externa
Recent advances in the understanding and control of quantum technologies, such as those based on cold atoms, have resulted in devices with extraordinary metrological sensitivities. To realise this potential outside of a lab environment the size, weig
We consider estimation and control of the cylinder wake at low Reynolds numbers. A particular focus is on the development of efficient numerical algorithms to design optimal linear feedback controllers when there are many inputs (disturbances applied
Detuning the signal-recycling cavity length from a cavity resonance significantly improves the quantum noise beyond the standard quantum limit, while there is no km-scale gravitational-wave detector successfully implemented the technique. The detunin
