微細作業支援自動ステージを用いた微小物体操作

抄録

Recently, manipulation and observation of the cells are actively conducted in order to analyze the biological phenomena. Grasping asymmetric object by using a micro-hand is limited by narrow workspace because the micro-hand is usually fixed to the work environment. In order to overcome the limitations of the limited workspace of micro hand, we pursuit to control the stage which carries the object. In this paper, we propose an automated stage system for supporting the operation of the micro hand. Our automated stage can rotate arbitrary point as the center of rotation in the microscopic field, can determine the manipulating part and control it in graspable position and enables micro hand to manipulate the target while avoiding obstacles automatically. In the future, various functions of automated stage will be introduced.
