Papers by Keyword: Micro Manipulator

Abstract: . In current bio-engineering, most cell manipulations are manually done by skilled operators. The operations are tedious and time consuming, yet with very low yield rate. The cell manipulation is highly expected to be automated. In this research, we have developed an automated micro-manipulation system, in which a vision control scheme has been proposed and implemented for feedback control of the tool position and tool path. In this paper, a path control scheme using potential approach with configuration space and Laplacian potential field is newly proposed to automatically generate the tool path for moving. The performance of the new control scheme is demonstrated with simulation.
