Re: [DIYbio] Re: I'm currently working on changing the world!

Hi Ravasz,

In short, my robot is a mechanical laboratory technician. It has an eye, hand, brain.  Its eye is an 8mp camera to validate every step in a procedure, which also includes a 100x microscope attachment (currently not working). Its hand has two fingers (for now), it can interact with tools using 8 pin data connector, water, gas, and vacuum pump. There are two classes of tools, bench tools, and hand tools.  The current hand tools are pipette, inoculation loop, 506nm laser, and homogenizer. The current bench tools are computer controlled hotplate, a gel electrophoresis chamber, bioreactor, and more to come.  All hand tools are placed in a toolbox and bench tools are addon nodes.  The brain is the software suite, it follows user created protocols, validates each step of the protocol with relevant sensor data and images.  The images can be processed using plug-in image processing code (currently only count cells, and mosaic image stitch), then all images and data collections are created into an HTML lab book.

My vision is to have a lab (kitchen) with 10 of these laboratory robots.  3 making reagents (line Chef), 5 making growth factors (line Chef), 1 for incubation and colony isolation (Sous Chef), and the last one to run the experiments (head chef).
