1. A device for intelligently injecting substance inside a fertilized egg comprising:
an injector body, wherein a lower part of the injector body supports a levelling spring comprising a levelling spring lower end,
wherein the levelling spring lower end comprises a coupling cup,
wherein, the interior of the coupling cup comprises a perforator and a needle coupler, and
wherein the perforator is configured such that a stem of an injection needle passes through the perforator, and;
an intelligent injection device, comprising a stepper motor, a platform, one or more guide columns, and a needle support platform
wherein the stepper motor is mounted and affixed on the platform,
wherein the one or more guide columns pass through the platform and are fixed on an upper part of the injector body,
wherein a spindle axis is mounted on the injector body perpendicular to a rotor axis
wherein the stepper motor passes through holes in the platform by the one or more guide columns and further threaded through a threaded hole
wherein a touch sensor is mounted and fixed on a top of one of the guide columns and immediately below the platform,
wherein, in the starting position of an inoculation cycle, the touch sensor upper surface receives interference from the lower surface of the platform,
wherein a position sensor is mounted on a bottom of one of the guide columns,
wherein the needle support platform is located immediately below the platform, and
wherein the needle coupler is mounted on the needle support platform and passively mounted by the one or more guide columns and next to the spindle axis through holes in said needle support platform.
