Robotic Cell Micromanipulation Skill Learning via Imitation‐Enhanced Reinforcement Learning

CAAI Transactions on Intelligence Technology, Volume 11, Issue 1, Page 123-136, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Humans can learn complex and dexterous manipulation tasks by observing videos, imitating and exploring. Multiple end‐effectors manipulation of free micron‐sized deformable cells is one of the challenging tasks in robotic micromanipulation. We propose an imitation‐enhanced reinforcement learning method inspired by the human learning process ...

Visually Guided Microassembly with Active Zooming

Journal of Robotics and Mechatronics, 2006
Vision techniques used in automatic microassembly are limited by inherent problems such as small depth of focus and small field of view. Microassembly must, however, initially detect microparts in a wide field of view and large depth of field while maintaining high resolution.
