Abstract-Autonomous positioning of small objects to create heterogeneous structures has great potential to advance the current micromanipulation procedures. To achieve autonomous micromanipulation, it is required to recognize the manipulation events. In this work, different classification algorithms including five common supervised learning methods are assessed for identifying states of manipulation. The classifiers are trained with data that consists of 3056 video frames and validated on 2545 videos frames. The best machine learning classifiers classified the events with 92.9 % accuracy, higher than the result of logic-based classification (88.9 %).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
