Abstract
A system includes a placement head with at least one printing nozzle configured to pick up and detachably hold at least one biological organism; an image acquisition system including a visual inspection system configured to identify at least one target biological organism to be picked up by the printing nozzle of the placement head in a first location, and identify at least one second location for deposit of the at least one target biological organism, wherein the first location is different from the at least one second location; and a robotic motion system that moves the placement head, based on input from the visual inspection system and a distance identification system, from the first location to the at least one second location, such that the placement head deposits the target biological organism at the at least one second location.
