Robotic micromanipulation is a relatively young field. However, after three decades of
development and evolution, the fundamental physics; techniques for sensing, actuation, and …

Infertility affects one in six couples worldwide, and fertility continues to deteriorate globally,
partly owing to a decline in semen quality. Sperm analysis has a central role in diagnosing …

A long-standing question in natural reproduction is how mammalian sperm navigate inside
female reproductive tract and finally reach the egg cell, or oocyte. Recently, fluid flow was …

Abstract Background and Objective: Deep learning techniques are powerful tools for image
analysis. However, the lack of programming experience makes it difficult for novice users to …

We present a fully automated multi-sperm tracking algorithm. It has the demonstrated
capability to detect and track simultaneously hundreds of sperm cells in recorded videos …

Genital tract infection and reduced sperm motility are considered two pivotal etiological
factors for male infertility associated with leukocytospermia and asthenozoospermia …

The robotic manipulation of deformable linear objects is a classic and challenging topic.
Apart from synthetic objects, such as wires and cables, linear objects are also commonly …

Objective: In clinical intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), a motile sperm must be
immobilized before insertion into an oocyte. This paper aims to develop a robotic system for …

In robotic micromanipulation, end-effector tips must be first located under microscopy
imaging before manipulation is performed. The tip of micromanipulation tools is typically a …

Sensor-based sorting is a machine vision application that has found industrial application in
various fields. An accept-or-reject task is executed by separating a material stream into two …
