VI. INTRODUCTION
This paragraph describes the small number of steps that
should be followed in order to have your Andrew+ Robot
operational in less than 5 minutes.
A. UNIT DESCRIPTION
The Andrew+ Robot is a laboratory benchtop robot able to
execute experiments according to protocols described by a
user through its software: OneLab. ™
Andrew+ Robot is capable of handling a variety of laboratory
tools which are automatically used by the system. Examples
of such tools are:
Andrew Alliance electronic pipettes
■
Labware gripper
■
Liquid level detector
■
Laboratory conventional consumables required to execute
experiments are arranged into in a magnetic-based modular
system called Dominos. Using its camera, the Andrew+
Robot can localize and identify the consumables present
in its working area. It stands on a base which has a dual
functionality, namely, avoiding involuntary movement of the
robot arm, and hosting the Optical Location Module (OLM)
with which it can measure the length of the pipettes and
tips. The right arm of the Andrew+ Robot, referred to as
the 'tool stand' can hold up to a maximum of 4 tools. Their
manipulation does not require any user intervention. Your
consumables should be placed in appropriate Dominos,
located within the Andrew+ Robot workspace, so that the
Andrew+ Robot can identify them. Depending on your
protocol, you can have 2 Dominos for a small experiment and
up to 11 Dominos, compatible with multi-channel pipettes,
for a more complex one. The Andrew+ Robot is made for
research and development, industrial laboratories and
routine work, with applications limited but not restricted to
life sciences, biotechnology, chemistry, clinical research and
diagnostic.
