An Improved Microgripper for Cell Manipulation

There is a growing need for individual cell manipulation in a wide range of research applications including stem cell sorting, gene and molecular delivery, cellular diagnostics, and single cell-based assays. When compared with data-averaging over a cell population, direct physical cell manipulation offers the researcher much more precise selection and understanding of cell properties.

The latest version of the world's most advanced humanoid robot will be making its UK debut in the North East.

The latest version of the world's most advanced humanoid robot will be making its UK debut in the North East.

Asimo, Honda's humanoid robot, will be at the Youth Engineering Summit in Houghton le Spring in June.

The summit offers about 7,000 children the chance to learn about the importance of engineering and the range of career options in this field.

A range of public and private sector organisations, including One NorthEast, the North East Productivity Alliance and the Manufacturing Advisory Service, are backing the show in the North East with the aim of making it an annual event in the future.

One NorthEast's manufacturing and productivity manager, Dr Colin Herron, said: "The Youth Engineering Summit has been successfully run in the Midlands since 2000 and it is excellent to have the opportunity to bring it up to the North East.

"I am also personally really looking forward to seeing the world famous ASIMO whose presence in the UK should inspire the next generation of engineers - particularly from North East England."
