The work proposes the use of an original vacuum micro-gripper with an integrated release system for the manipulation of fertilized zebrafish eggs prior to their microinjection. After an introduction to the biological application, the micro-gripper is presented and its implementation in a robotized procedure described.

Abstract

The work proposes the use of an original vacuum micro-gripper with an integrated release system for the manipulation of fertilized zebrafish eggs prior to their microinjection. After an introduction to the biological application, the micro-gripper is presented and its implementation in a robotized procedure described. The capabilities of the system and the main critical issues are then discussed, posing the basis for further investigation.
