Scheduling a Flexible, Open-Architecture Robotic Workstation Under LabWindows

摘要

Development of a flexible, open-architecture modular robotic workstation consisting of a Calipers' Twister II robotic arm, several Labs/stems Multidrop dispensers, a Kendro Cytomat incubator, and a multimode BMG Polarstar Optima reader has been reported. Our new, fully functional scheduling software developed under LabWindows allows the integration of an unlimited number of devices from diverse suppliers using native communication protocols.
