Systems, apparatus and methods for controlling a movement of a cell culture to optimize cell growth

An apparatus comprising:

• a first device configured to:
• hold a cell culture container containing a cell culture in need of cell growth optimization, the cell culture container being configured to grow cells;
• and
• cause a movement of the cell culture container;
• a second device configured to generate an image of the cell culture;
• and
• at least one processor configured to:
• determine a characteristic of the cell culture to facilitate cell growth optimization based on the image;
• and
• cause the first device to adjust at least one tilting or shaking motion of the cell culture container based on the characteristic to facilitate cell growth optimization.

A system comprising:

• a tray configured to hold a cell culture container containing a cell culture in need of cell growth optimization, the cell culture container being configured to grow cells;
• a camera configured to capture an image of the cell culture;
• a device configured to control a movement of the tray;
• and
• a processor configured to:
• determine a first movement of the tray;
• receive from the camera data representing an image of the cell culture;
• determine a characteristic of the cell culture to facilitate cell growth optimization based on the image data;
• determine a second movement of the tray based on the characteristic, the second movement being different from the first movement;
• and
• cause the device to cause the tray to move in accordance with the second movement to facilitate cell growth optimization.
