An automated small object sorting system comprising: an object tray cart docking station structured and operable to receive and engage an object tray cart to dock the object tray cart within the object tray cart docking station; an automated tray removal and positioning subsystem structured and operable to: remove an object tray from the object tray cart, the object tray including a plurality of wells and a plurality of small objects stored within the wells; selectively position the removed object tray such that selected ones of the small objects can be extracted from the removed object tray; and replace the removed object tray into the object tray cart after the selected small objects have been extracted. an automated collection assembly positioning subsystem structured and operable to selectively position a collection assembly such that the selected one or more small objects extracted from the removed object tray can be deposited into selected one or more of a plurality of object receptacles of the collection assembly; an automated object extraction subsystem structured and operable to extract the selected one or more small objects from the object tray and deposit each extracted small object into the selected one or more object receptacles; and an object extraction verification assembly comprising one or more imaging devices structured and operable to capture image data of one or more nozzle heads of the object extraction subsystem, the one or more imaging devices communicatively linked to a central control system operable to receive the image data and verify whether selected ones of a plurality of nozzles of the nozzle head have an extracted small objected retained on a tip of each selected nozzle, thereby verifying whether the object extraction subsystem extracted each of the selected small objects from the object tray. an object tray cart docking station structured and operable to receive and engage an object tray cart to dock the object tray cart within the object tray cart docking station; an automated tray removal and positioning subsystem structured and operable to: remove an object tray from the object tray cart, the object tray including a plurality of wells and a plurality of small objects stored within the wells; selectively position the removed object tray such that selected ones of the small objects can be extracted from the removed object tray; and replace the removed object tray into the object tray cart after the selected small objects have been extracted. remove an object tray from the object tray cart, the object tray including a plurality of wells and a plurality of small objects stored within the wells; selectively position the removed object tray such that selected ones of the small objects can be extracted from the removed object tray; and replace the removed object tray into the object tray cart after the selected small objects have been extracted. an automated collection assembly positioning subsystem structured and operable to selectively position a collection assembly such that the selected one or more small objects extracted from the removed object tray can be deposited into selected one or more of a plurality of object receptacles of the collection assembly; an automated object extraction subsystem structured and operable to extract the selected one or more small objects from the object tray and deposit each extracted small object into the selected one or more object receptacles; and an object extraction verification assembly comprising one or more imaging devices structured and operable to capture image data of one or more nozzle heads of the object extraction subsystem, the one or more imaging devices communicatively linked to a central control system operable to receive the image data and verify whether selected ones of a plurality of nozzles of the nozzle head have an extracted small objected retained on a tip of each selected nozzle, thereby verifying whether the object extraction subsystem extracted each of the selected small objects from the object tray.
