Robotic Command and Microtool Control Within an Intelligent Automated in Vitro Fertilization and Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection Platform

Murray et al. | Patent No. US 12,180,441 B1


A method for automated, artificial-intelligence-based IVF microtool control includes receiving a command at a con- troller associated with an artificial intelligence/machine learning system (AI/ML system) and an imaging system used at least in part to operate robotic components of in vitro fertilization (IVF) module. The method includes retrieving at least one IVF microtool assembly (MA) from a tool inventory location using a first robotic mechanism of the robotics system, based at least in part on the command. The method includes retrieving at least one IVF receptacle using a second robotic mechanism of the robotics system based at least in part on the command. The method includes placing the IVF receptacle on a stage within the IVF module based on the command. The method includes positioning the at least one MA in proximity to the IVF receptacle, using the first robotic mechanism, based at least in part on the com- mand.
