Abstract

A robotic cloud laboratory driven by a state-of-the-art unified laboratory operating system integrates automated hardware, humans, and sensors. This lab of the future system enables researchers to transparently and collaboratively create, optimize, and organize biological experiments to achieve more reproducible results, perform around-the-clock experimentation, and more efficiently navigate the vast parameter space of biology.
