Robotic Manipulation of Deformable Cells for Orientation Control.

Robotic manipulation of deformable objects has been a classic topic in robotics. Compared to synthetic deformable objects such as rubber balls and clothes, biological cells are highly deformable and more prone to damage. This article presents robotic manipulation of deformable cells for orientation control (both out-of-plane and in-plane), which is required in both clinical (e.g., in vitro fertili...
