Abstract

Micro-nano robotics has recently become an important robotics field, especially technologies to measure and control phenomena related to cells and tissues. Based on this background, analysis of cell characteristics is a hot topic in micro-nano robotics. However, current analytical methods have issues with efficiency because cell manipulation and measurements must be separately performed for each cell. If cell manipulation and mechanical property measurements could be simultaneously conducted, then the efficiency would be greatly improved. Herein physical property measurements and cellular diagnosis were examined using a two-fingered microhand system with a micro force sensor and an algorithm from the nano indentation approach. Additionally, we conducted several experiments to demonstrate the applicability of this method.
