A novel piezo-driven cell injection system with force feedback overcomes the unsatisfied force interaction between the pipette needle and embryos in conventional position control. By integrating semiconductor strain-gage sensors for detecting the cell penetration force and the micropipette relative position in real time, the developed cell microinjection system features high operation speed, confident success rate, and high survival rate. The effectiveness of the developed cell injection system is experimentally verified by penetrating zebrafish embryos. The injection of 100 embryos are conducted with separate position control and force control. Results indicate that the force control enables a survival rate of 86%, which is higher than the survival rate of 82% produced by the position control in the same control environment. The experimental results quantitatively demonstrate the superiority of force control over conventional position control for the first time.

A first division unit (501) divides a program into a plurality of block candidates, while permitting a part of processes to coexist in two or more block candidates. A block candidate determination unit (502) determines whether or not the part of the processes coexists in the two or more block candidates among the plurality of block candidates. A scheme selection unit (503) compares, when the part of the processes coexists in the two or more block candidates, an execution time in a parallel execution scheme with an execution time in a shared execution scheme, and selects a scheme with shorter execution time between the parallel execution scheme and the shared execution scheme, the parallel execution scheme causing two or more computers to execute in parallel a coexistence process being the part of the processes coexisting in the two or more block candidates, the shared execution scheme causing one computer to execute the coexistence process and causing the other computer to share an execution result. A second division unit (504) divides the program into a plurality of blocks based on the plurality of block candidates and the selected scheme.
