In the past few years, we have covered plenty of smart robots used for doing lab work. As this video from ABB Robotics shows, Yumi can be used in microbiology labs for rapid sample testing. As the company explains, the idea was to:
To implement YuMi, a small robot with a high degree of adaptability, directly within the WASP ecosystem. Its precision arms perfectly replicate human tasks, allowing numerous routine processes within the laboratory to be standardized and automated.
The aim of this project was to reduce waiting times and improve lab safety for technicians. You can find out more about it here.
