Smart Laboratories
Mobile manipulators automate sample transport and hazardous material and waste handling in smart laboratories. Integrated control of the AGV chassis, collaborative arm and vision system enables efficient operation.
Customer applications
Applications
Automated laboratory sample transport
Autonomously grasp and transport test tubes, Petri dishes and other laboratory materials between areas. In biological laboratories, for example, robots move samples from storage to analytical instruments.
Connecting high-throughput experimental workflows
Automate transitions between steps in continuous workflows such as drug screening or gene sequencing. Robots can pick test tubes for liquid dispensing, then transfer them after centrifugation to the next testing stage.
Hazardous material and waste handling
For toxic, radioactive or infectious samples, mobile manipulators replace manual transport and packaging in enclosed environments to reduce personnel exposure.
Precision instrument loading and unloading
When loading samples into instruments such as mass spectrometers, vision positioning and flexible grippers precisely uncap, place and retrieve tubes to avoid human error.
Key benefits
Higher efficiency
24-hour operation and sub-millimeter handling accuracy reduce delays and errors from manual work.
Improved safety
Replace direct manual contact with high-risk samples to reduce occupational exposure and cross-contamination.
Flexible adaptation
Adapt to laboratory layout changes and reduce unnecessary travel through intelligent route planning, lowering energy consumption.
Lower costs and higher efficiency
Reduce reliance on manual labor and consumable waste to lower long-term operating costs.
