AI Technical Summary
Conventional laboratory automation systems lack the ability to seamlessly integrate manual and automated processes, leading to inconsistencies and inaccuracies in high throughput screening due to varying human intervention times and the inability to handle non-automation friendly devices.
The introduction of auto-navigating robotic processing vehicles that can autonomously traverse a laboratory facility, interact with both automated and manual processing stations, and perform a range of laboratory tasks using interchangeable end effectors to handle various laboratory equipment, including non-automation friendly devices, while capturing and reporting experimental data for improved consistency and accuracy.
Enhances the integration of manual and automated processes, reducing human error and improving the consistency and accuracy of laboratory operations by providing a collaborative workspace that captures and reports experimental data, thus optimizing the efficiency of high throughput screening.
