Laboratory robotics is the act of using robots in biology or chemistry labs. For example, pharmaceutical companies employ robots to move biological or chemical samples around to synthesize novel chemical entities or to test pharmaceutical value of existing chemical matter. Advanced laboratory robotics can be used to completely automate the process of science, as in the Robot Scientist project. Laboratory processes are suited for robotic automation as the processes are composed of repetitive movements (e.g. pick/place, liquid & solid additions, heating/cooling, mixing, shaking, testing). ==History== Automated synthesis originated with peptide and oligonucleotide synthesis. One early example is the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) which is able to amplify DNA strands using a thermal cycler to micromanage DNA synthesis by adjusting temperature using a pre-made computer program. Since then, automated synthesis has been applied to organic chemistry and expanded into three categories: reaction-block systems, robot-arm systems, and non-robotic fluidic systems.〔Nicholas W Hird Drug Discovery Today, Volume 4, Issue 6, p.265-274 (1999) ()〕 The primary objective of any automated workbench is high-throughput processes and cost reduction.〔David Cork, Tohru Sugawara. Laboratory Automation in the Chemical Industries. CRC Press, 2002.〕 This allows a synthetic laboratory to operate with a fewer number of people working more efficiently.
