  • Abstract
    This paper proposed a potential assistant robot for In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) eggs retrieval. Safety and adaptability are important issues for the research. The eggs were obtained through right, left, up, and down motions at the location. The robot was attachable to the bedside using a conventional scope holder with multiple joints. The control system was expected to enhance the overall performance of the system during eggs retrieval procedure. The auto-tracking control algorithms were demonstrated and computed for the potential assistant robot system.
