Investigating chorion softening of zebrafish embryos with a microrobotic force sensing system.
The zebrafish is a model organism for addressing questions of vertebrate embryo development. In this paper, the softening phenomenon of the chorion envelope of zebrafish embryos at different developmental stages was mechanically quantitated by using a microrobotic force sensing system. The microrobotic system integrates a piezoelectric cellular force sensor to measure the required forces for pe...

متن کاملIntelligent Precision Control for Haptic Microrobotic Cell Injection System
Integration of the operator’s haptic sensory modality in microrobotic cell injection offers immense benefits over conventional techniques. In particular, the haptically enabled system should be able to manipulate the microrobot in micro resolution. This requires a precision control strategy capable of tracking the trajectory mapped from the haptic side. As the system has an unknown internal str...
متن کامل3D Particle-Based Cell Modelling for Haptic Microrobotic Cell Injection
Introducing haptic interface to conduct microrobotic intracellular injection has many beneficial implications. In particular, the haptic device provides force feedback to the bio-operator's hand. This paper introduces a 3D particle-based model to simulate the deformation of the cell membrane and corresponding cellular forces during microrobotic cell injection. The model is based on the kinemati...
