Robotic command and microtool control within an intelligent automated in vitro fertilization and intracytoplasmic sperm injection platform

A method for automated, artificial-intelligence-based IVF microtool control, comprising:

• receiving a command at a controller associated with an artificial intelligence/machine learning system (AI/ML system) and an imaging system used at least in part to operate a robotics system of an in vitro fertilization (IVF) module;
• 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;
• retrieving an IVF receptacle using a second robotic mechanism of the robotics system based at least in part on the command;
• placing the IVF receptacle on a stage within the IVF module based at least in part on the command;
• automatically positioning the at least one MA in proximity to the IVF receptacle, using the first robotic mechanism, based at least in part on the command, wherein:
• the positioning is in accordance with a planned IVF procedure,
• the positioning includes moving the at least one MA from the tool inventory location to a location in proximity to the IVF receptacle, and
• the first robotic mechanism is controlled at least in part by the AI/ML system and the imaging system to locate the at least one MA in position with respect to the IVF receptacle;
• confirming a correct positioning of the at least one MA with respect to the IVF receptacle in the IVF module;
• and
• sending an alert to confirm the correct positioning.
