This year, for the first time, TraceBot also had its own information stand at the trade fair to present the progress and goals of the innovative funding project. The consortium partners BioLAGO and TECNALIA were on hand at the TraceBot information stand to present the TraceBot robot for automated laboratories of the future to interested visitors. The details of the development were presented using specific video presentations. In addition, the TraceBot partners from Astech Projects had their own information stand at Future Labs Live to present their new Robotic Lab Assistant (RLA) and tool changer including a pipettor gripper.
A special highlight on the second day of the event was a session moderated by BioLAGO project manager Jamin Bouras, which focussed on the topic of "Automated Integrated & Interoperable Discovery". The following renowned experts spoke at the event: Anthony Remazeilles, Ádám Wolf, Patrick Courtney, Radhika Gudipati, Reinhard Lafrenz. The TraceBot project was also presented in the session.
It became clear that there was great interest in the progress and goals of the TraceBot funding project. The opportunity was therefore taken to draw attention to the upcoming Robotics 4 Lab Automation Symposium on 25 September 2024 in Constance. All consortium partners of the funding project will be present in Constance to present the further developments of their work (further information here).
