Tentative title:
Interactive force-feedback optical robots: a novel instrument for experimental biology
Abstract:
Single cell manipulation is considered a key technology in biomedical research. However the lack of intuitive and effective systems make this technology less accessible. We propose a new tele-robotic solution for dexterous cell manipulation through optical tweezers. It allows the simultaneous manipulation of more than 15 optical traps in a large workspace with nanometric resolution, and provides real-time haptic feedback. It also leverages remotely operated optobots, untethered microstructures controlled in 6D with multiple traps, which can be used as tools for specific tasks
