Cell Manipulation with Force Feedback Control in Micro Manipulation System

Abstract

In this paper, we discuss a manipulation for a cell with a two-fingered micro hand in a micro manipulation system. A force sensor, produced by Olympus Opt. Co., is attached to the top of finger in the two-fingered micro hand. In order for manipulation of cells, the glass needle is attached on the surface of the force sensor. The force sensor is evaluated for the application of cell manipulation by estimating its output signal in grasping a false cell. By using the force sensor. A force feedback control is introduced in the micro manipulation.
