Computer Science originator text Articles 2002 English In this paper, we present a framework for cell manipulation tasks with visual servoing micromanipulation strategies. A vision based micropositioner is designed in order to address the requirement of high precision needed to perform manipulation of objects under 100 μm in size. The system calibration (microscope-camera-micropositioner) and the model of the observed scene are not known. Experimental results for micropositioning tasks with respect to protein cells are presented and demonstrate the validity of the proposed approach. Nanotechnology Piscataway, N.J.
