Biobot Project Global Architecture

As of now, there are similar options out on the market for computerized robotic platforms performing laboratory based operations. Some manufacturers offer mainstream platforms such as the «RapidHit» from Hudson Robotics, which is shown in figure 1. This platform is also modular, gives the opportunity to have a visual reference of the process via video camera and has an automated restocking of micro plates feature. However, the robot is not equipped with a multiple tool holding support that allows execution of different manipulations within the same routine. A platform of this kind is detailed at around 50000$, which makes it less likely affordable by smaller laboratories.
