Model-Based Robotic Cell Aspiration: Tackling Nonlinear Dynamics and Varying Cell Sizes.

Aspirating a single cell from the outside to the inside of a micropipette is widely used for cell transfer and manipulation. Due to the small volume of a single cell (picoliter) and nonlinear dynamics involved in the aspiration process, it is challenging to accurately and quickly position a cell to the target position inside a micropipette. This letter reports the first mathematical model that des...
