Robot vision system picks stem cells

Under certain conditions, stem cells can be induced to become other types of cell such as blood or muscle cells though a process known as differentiation. Because of this, scientists and researchers can use them to regenerate diseased or damaged tissue. In a vision system developed by engineers at Peak Analysis & Automation in conjunction with the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute, a vision-based robotic system called automate.it pixcell detects, isolates, and picks stem cells from Petri dishes and transfers the cells to wells in microtiter plates where they can be treated to create specific cell types. >>>Read more
