| description | The automation of life science laboratory workflows is becoming increasingly important for optimizing efficiency and accuracy in research facilities. In this paper, we present a new paradigm for the integration of MOLAR Automated Guided Vehicles (AGV) into multi-floor laboratory workflows at the Center for Life Science Automation (CELISCA), which transports labware and materials between different workbenches across two floors. SAMI (Beckman Coulter, California, United States) sends mobile robots to connect highly distributed instrument equipment, enabling seamless and efficient laboratory material automated transportation. The MOLAR robot has the capability to interact with laboratory infrastructure, including elevators, automatic doors, workbenches, and the high-level control system. This innovative paradigm represents a comprehensive solution for executing transportation tasks in an intelligent laboratory environment using mobile robots, demonstrating consistent stability and exceptional effectiveness in real-world applications. |
