About
Edison Gerena is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of robotics, optics, and biomedical engineering, whose work is revolutionizing single-cell manipulation and microrobotics. His primary research areas include optical tweezers, tele-robotic systems, and deep learning for micro-scale automation. Gerena’s major contributions center on developing intuitive, high-bandwidth platforms for dexterous cell manipulation, most notably his tele-robotic solution for optical single-cell manipulation (31 citations) and his high-bandwidth 3-D multitrap actuation technique for 6-DoF real-time control of optical robots (20 citations). He has also advanced force-feedback optical tweezers for interactive bio-manipulation (14 citations), enabling unprecedented precision in biological tasks. More recently, Gerena has integrated deep learning for optical microrobot tracking, pose prediction, and orientation estimation, pushing the boundaries of automated micro-manipulation. His work on robotic sorting of zebrafish embryos (5 citations) demonstrates the practical biomedical applications of his research. With a growing citation impact and a clear trajectory toward fully automated, intuitive micro-robotic systems, Gerena stands as a key innovator in making advanced cell manipulation technologies accessible for research and clinical use.
