HighRes robotic system

This piece has an interview with the CEO of HighRes Biosolutions (Beverly, MA) about robotics in laboratory automation (see the company’s website).  He explains how scientists and machines can work together with both making decisions and carrying them out.  “With a collaborative robot, you can literally just grab it press a button and drag it to a point and teach it. What was once a typically really complex interaction with a system, has now been distilled down to be very basic “drag and drop” process, even at a physical level. The collaborative robot really means breaking down the barriers for scientists to access their science on large automation, and let’s make sure that the interaction with a really complex piece of machinery is as simple as just guiding it by its wrist.  MORE
