Abstract
A vortex-bright soliton can precess around a fix point. Here, we find numerically that the fixed point and the associated precessional orbits can be shifted by applying a constant driving force on the bright component, the displacement is proportional to the force with a minus sign. This robust dynamics is then discussed theoretically by treating the vortex-bright soliton as an effective point particle, explaining the observed dynamics and predicting new ones that are subsequently confirmed. By appropriately tuning the force, the vortex-bright soliton can be guided following an arbitrary trajectory, including that it can be pinned and released at will. This finding opens a highly flexible and controllable approach of engineering the dynamics of vortical structures in Bose-Einstein condensates.
