The Undergrad

A Physical AI Lab Operator for the bench.

The Undergrad handles the bench so you can lead the science. It runs your experimental protocols — pipetting, loading instruments, handling samples, and logging every step. No coding required.

How the Undergrad works

One robot, the whole bench

Glides along a rail to serve every station — no lab redesign.

Vision-verified at every step

Cameras confirm each transfer; errors are caught at the bench, not the reader.

Runs day & night

Load once and the workflow repeats — load, run, unload — hands-free.

Capabilities

What the Undergrad does

A Physical AI Lab Operator designed for real benchtop work — it physically executes the repetitive, hands-on steps that consume scientist time.

Pipetting

Precise liquid handling across plates, tubes, and reservoirs.

Instrument loading

Moves plates and samples into thermocyclers, readers, and centrifuges.

Sample handling

Picks, places, and organizes labware across the bench.

Protocol execution

Follows multi-step workflows from start to finish.

Automatic logging

Records every action with timestamps and parameters.

Plain-language control

You describe what you want; the AI converts it to atomic steps, simulates, then runs it.

The workflow

From plain language to verified results

1

Describe your protocol

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

2

AI converts to atomic steps

The system breaks your protocol into precise, executable actions, checked against the robot's capabilities and your lab layout.

3

Simulate before executing

The full workflow runs in a digital twin first. You review and approve the plan.

4

Vision-guided execution

The robot runs 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 — a complete audit trail, no 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 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. Works with your existing instruments, consumables, and lab layout. No vendor lock-in.

Support

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