Research laboratories are often, by definition, striving to break boundaries and make new discoveries; however, they are also part of a business that needs a return on that R&D investment. The success of that research often depends on being able to scale up routine operations and workflows as well as collect and interpret the resultant data efficiently. Laboratory tasks may present hazards for humans or must be performed with an accuracy and precision that is hard for humans to replicate repeatedly for long periods. For applications such as these, robotics and lab automation are the solution. Commercially available off-the-shelf systems are available for discrete tasks and analyses; however, your overall workflows are probably as unique as the research methods and experiments your success depends on.
