Abstract	Robot-assisted biological cell injection has become more and more popular because of its high precision and throughput. Currently, most force sensors for cell-injection are based on PVDF (Polyvinylidene Fluoride) cantilevers located on the manipulator. However, the PVDF-cantilever structure can induce larger wound than normal injection and does not transmit force easily due to its excessive flexibility. As a relatively new piezoelectric material, MFC (Macro Fiber Composite) film is stiffer than PVDF film while remains the flexibility, which has a potential to overcome the disadvantage of PVDF-cantilever force sensor. In this paper, a new MFC-cantilever based force sensor is designed, fabricated, calibrated and applied in crab egg cell microinjection. It is the first time that the MFC film is applied in cell injection application, which shows a promising performance. Experiments results reveal that the designed sensor can effectively measure the cell injection force in real time.
