Process chemistry creates scalable routes for new lead molecules and is a crucial but laborious stage in pharmaceutical and agrochemical development cycles. We have built an automated process chemistry platform that tackles late-stage process development. The modular workflow integrates both industry-standard tools and…

Animal-robot interaction studies have been of increasing interest in research, but most of these studies have involved robots interacting with insects, birds, and frogs in laboratory settings. To date, only two studies used non-human primates and no behavioral study has tested the social integration of a robot in a…

'Mathias Gutmann' 'Ingrid Ott' 'Indra Spiecker genannt Döhmann'] Service-Robotic-mainly defined as “non-industrial robotics”-is identified as the next economical success story to be expected after robots have been ubiquitously implemented into industrial production lines. Under the heading of service-robotic, we found…

- 1. An analysis of 12 companies based on eight criteria described in section 3. Although these criteria are subjective, they have the benefit of being able to distinguish companies based on their maturity and approach to the market; - 2. These humanoids are very complex systems facing technological challenges which…

Liquid handling robots are often limited by proprietary programming interfaces that are only compatible with a single type of robot and operating system, restricting method sharing and slowing development. Here we present PyLabRobot, an open-source, cross-platform Python interface capable of programming diverse…

For decades, the field of biologically inspired robotics has leveraged insights from animal locomotion to improve the walking ability of legged robots. Recently, “biomimetic” robots have been developed to model how specific animals walk. By prioritizing biological accuracy to the target organism rather than the…

— A critical and re-configured HRI might look to the arts, where another history of robots has been unfolding since the Czech artist Karel Capek's critical robotic labor parable of 1921, in which the word robot was coined in its modern usage. This paper explores several vectors by which artist-created robots, both…

The emergence of affordable and reliable 3D printers has enabled laboratories to optimize setups, print custom parts, accelerate research, and rapidly prototype. A new movement has emerged in the past decade, where 3D printers are repurposed as laboratory-specific robots. There are three distinct approaches in the…

The development of polymer materials for real-world applications requires careful assessment of material degradation over time and under environmental exposure. Such tests often necessitate frequent monitoring of test specimens, which can become burdensome for researchers. In this study, we present the application of a…

pH adjustment is crucial for many industrial products, yet this step is typically performed by manual trial-and-error. A particularly industrially relevant yet challenging titration is that of adjusting viscous liquid formulations using weak, polyprotic titrants (usually citric acid). Handling of viscous, non-Newtonian…

Multi-locus TMS (mTMS) enables precise electronic control of brain stimulation targeting, eliminating the need for physical coil movement. However, with a small number of coils, the stimulation area is constrained, and manually handling the coil array is cumbersome. Combining electronic mTMS targeting with robotics…

Self-driving laboratories promise to democratize automated chemical laboratories. Accurate liquid handling is an essential operation in the context of chemical labs, and consequently a self-driving laboratory will require a robotic liquid handling and transfer. Although many pipettes are available for human scientists…
