Robot-based automation system for cryogenic crystal sample mounting

A robotic system designed to precisely handle tiny, frozen crystal samples for scientific analysis, like X-ray crystallography. It uses a robot arm with a special gripper that has long, slender fingers equipped with sensors to detect how much force it's applying. This allows it to gently pick up and position samples without damaging them or letting them warm up, even in tight spaces, while also managing a container of liquid nitrogen to keep the samples cold and prevent ice buildup.
