Haptic virtual reality training environment for micro-robotic cell injection
chapter
posted on 2015-01-01, 00:00 authored by Syafizwan Mohd Faroque, Ben HoranBen Horan, H Adam, M Pangestu, S ThomasMicro-robotic cell injection is typically performed manually by a trained
bio-operator, and success rates are often low. To enhance bio-operator performance during real-time cell injection, our earlier work introduced a haptically-enabled micro-robotic cell injection system. The system employed haptic virtual fixtures to provide haptic guidance according to articular performance metrics. This paper extends the work by replicating the system within a virtual reality (VR) environment for bio-operator training. Using the virtual environment, the bio-operator is able to control the virtual injection process in the same way they would with the physical haptic micro-robotic cell injection system, while benefiting from the enhanced visualisation capabilities offered by the 3D VR environment. The system is achieved using cost-effective components offering training at much lower cost than using the physical system.
