"Undergrad"

Lab Operator Robot

A Physical AI Lab Operator for the bench. The Undergrad handles the bench — you lead the science. It runs your experimental protocols — pipetting, loading instruments, handling samples, and logging every step. No coding required.

The Undergrad — Physical AI Lab Operator by Robot on Rails

What the Undergrad Robot Does

The Undergrad Robot is a Physical AI Lab Operator designed for real benchtop work. It physically executes the repetitive, hands-on steps that consume scientist time:

You describe what you want done in plain language. The robot's AI converts your instructions into atomic steps, simulates the execution, then runs it physically with vision-guided verification at every stage.

How It Works

1

Describe your protocol

Write your experimental protocol in plain language — the same way you'd explain it to a labmate. No scripting or programming.

2

AI converts to atomic steps

Our LLM-powered system breaks your protocol into precise, executable actions — each one verified against the robot's capabilities and your lab layout.

3

Simulate before executing

The full workflow is simulated in our digital twin before any physical action. You review and approve the plan.

4

Vision-guided execution

The robot executes each step with integrated cameras verifying positions, detecting objects, and catching errors in real time.

5

Automatic documentation

Every action is logged with timestamps, parameters, and visual confirmation. Complete audit trail without any manual effort.

System Specifications

Form Factor

Benchtop-mounted rail system. Installs on standard lab benches without facility modification. Services multiple workstations along the rail.

Manipulation

6-DOF robotic arm with interchangeable end effectors. Handles pipettes, plates, tubes, and custom labware.

Vision System

Multi-camera perception system for object detection, position verification, and real-time error checking during execution.

Intelligence

LLM-powered protocol interpretation. Converts natural language instructions into verified atomic actions with simulation preview.

Compatibility

Equipment-agnostic design. Works with your existing instruments, consumables, and lab layout. No vendor lock-in.

Support

Full deployment support including installation, protocol translation, training, and ongoing maintenance. We set it up with you.
