Abstract

In order to assemble biological cells for tissue engineering, fast and reliable manipulation is necessary. In this paper, we present a high-speed and precise manipulation system using two-fingered microhand. This system is a fully automated pick-and-place operation of microspheres that can assemble several objects at high speed. To achieve proposed system, special releasing method and vision-based automatic manipulation are utilized. Finally, we manipulate three microbeads (55μm) with a 100% success rate.
