1. A system for injecting a substance into cells of a tissue sample, the system comprising:
a robotic manipulator apparatus configured to hold and position a micropipette;
a pressure controller;
a microscope camera; and
a computing device configured to:
receive image data from the microscope camera, wherein the image data comprises an image of the tissue sample;
output a user interface for display, wherein the user interface contains the image of the tissue sample;
receive, via the user interface, an indication of a trajectory line drawn by a user on the image of the tissue sample;
control the robotic manipulator apparatus to move a tip of the micropipette along a path defined by the trajectory line; and
control the pressure controller to inject a gas into the micropipette to eject the substance out of the micropipette at one or more points along the path defined by the trajectory line.
