Especially, in many micro-level manipulation scenarios, e.g. cell manipulation, micro-surgery, and microfabrication in medical, industry, and agricultural fields, have not only the delicate manipulation skills but also the precision in the boundaries of human ability, making the robotic manipulation even more challenging. Robotic micro manipulation has been developed rapidly in recent years due to the development of artificial intelligence and automation requirement. Many valuable issues need to be addressed urgently for making robotic micro manipulation more practical and intelligent. Therefore, it is necessary to explore advanced control methods, precision mechanism designs, and medical &amp; life science requirements by integrating relevant knowledge from several disciplines, such as robotics, computer science, mechanics, automation, informatics, agricultural engineering, and medical &amp; life science.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This special session aims to provide a platform for communication about robotic micro manipulation and its applications. Researchers in related fields are welcome to discuss the robotic system design and automation from the micron level down to the nano level, exploring novel research advancement and developing opportunities in this interesting field.
