Laboratory automation is a key driver for higher efficiency and reproducibility of experiments and measurements in natural science laboratories. One process that is particularly susceptible to both manual errors in the physical handling of labware, faulty data analyses, and incomplete reporting is t
One of the most important aspects of autonomous systems is safety. This includes ensuring safe human-robot and safe robot-environment interaction when autonomously performing complex tasks or in collaborative scenarios. Al-though several methods have been introduced to tackle this, most are unsuitab…
Automation in the life science research laboratory is a paradigm that has gained increasing relevance in recent years. Current robotic solutions often have a limited scope, which reduces their acceptance and prevents the realization of complex workflows. The transport and manipulation of laboratory…
Laboratory automation is a suitable solution to establish higher reproducibility with less manual work and thus higher quality standards in life sciences. To date, mobile robots are capable of performing autonomous pick-and-place tasks in the laboratory, and specialized pipetting machines can be use…
