Abstract
The invention comprises a robotic device that automates certain functions of the laboratory workbench, such as drawing liquid from one or more reservoirs, depositing the liquid in one or more wells, discarding a used pipette tip, and adding on a new pipette tip. The device is equipped with cameras and a machine vision module which enable it to identify and categorize all objects on a workbench and to determine if a foreign or unknown object has entered the workbench during operation and to issue an alert. The device is also equipped with additional sensors to allow for accurate and robust operation and provide alerts for other operational mishaps. The invention further comprises a computing device that receives natural language instructions from a user, translates the instructions into a middleware language, and then compiles them into device-specific control instructions which it provides to the robotic device.
