Robotics Design Proposal

June 5, 2020

Homemade in Metuchen, NJ

Submission currently under review!

Contest hosted by BRDG Studios

In my proposal I show how the Universal Robot UR5e would be well suited to perform a delicate, repetitive, and time consuming process used in cell manufacturing laboratories.

Check it out! A group of chemists from University of Liverpool published in Nature (July 8, 2020) about how they used a similar robot assistant to perform time consuming and repetitive aspects their research. Link to Inverse pop-sci article.
