YOLOv8-Based Visual Localization and Fixed-Point Immobilization of Cells Driven by Surface Acoustic Waves

Automated cell manipulation is a key technology in biomedical research. Realizing real-time detection and precise positioning of targets is an essential prerequisite for applications such as single-cell analysis and drug screening. Most existing methods rely on complex vision systems or multi-degree-of-freedom manipulators, which suffer from issues including low integration and limited automation. This paper proposes an automated system that combines deep learning-based object detection with Sur
