Project Description

A lot of technology fields are growing at an incredibly fast pace. Just think of electrification of transport with Tesla’S Model S, further and further space travel such as ESA Rosetta space mission, or simply your newly released cell phones. However, when you take a look at laboratory manipulation, especially biology’s one, you realize that some fields are left behind. Some people even say that laboratory manipulation are 30 years behind in development compared to a lot of other field. In an era where everything is automated with robot almost as soon it is feasible, biology lab researchers are still working heart and soul, day and night, to perform their repetitive lab manipulations. This is exactly where we came in (or more precisely when Professor Sebastien Rodrigue came to us).


We will help him to bring lab manipulation to its rightful level and to do so, we are designing and building an automated robotic platform with compatible auxiliary modules. This platform includes a Cartesian robot, a tool holding support, a pipetting module and a gripper. Auxiliary modules include an ingenious mix of magnetism control, temperature control and instrumentation. All of these parts and modules are explained in details in our Wiki’s Design page.
