UM research in automated micromanipulation robotics increases survival rate of injected cells
The University of Macau (UM) has achieved another breakthrough in scientific research. In a latest research project from the Department of Electromechanical Engineering, Faculty of Science and Technology (FST), University of Macau (UM), titled ‘Force-Sensing Automated Micromanipulation System’, force-sensing microinjectors and microgrippers have been developed towards automated operation on a micro and nanometer scale. The invented equipment enables a high survival rate for the injected cell as the cells suffer from minimum force during the injection process. The equipment will also produce more consistent and reliable results than skilled manual operation, and can significantly reduce the workload of, and dependence on the experience of, human operators. The project has been recommended for the Technological Invention Award (Second Prize) of the 2018 Macao Science and Technology Awards.
