Installation and hands-on records and adoption notes from the field. The numbers come from what we installed and measured ourselves.
The target is the repeated work between instruments, such as loading and unloading samples, removing tube caps, cold storage retrieval and moving racks. Using the mobile robot uLab Mobile as an example, this post covers a configuration of daytime collaboration and overnight autonomous operation, and what to check before adoption.

With two arms, one arm can do the next task while the other holds a tube, which cuts the steps of putting it down and picking it up again. This post compares the single-arm uLab Uno (up to 90 tubes per hour) and the dual-arm uLab Duo (up to 170) using official specifications, and covers how to choose.

Instead of building a whole new line, start with the one step that repeats most, such as loading and retrieving a centrifuge. Using the single-arm uLab Uno as an example, this post covers what to check first, the phased adoption order, and how to run without a LIS.

Before choosing a robot, write down how samples flow today. Then check, in order, whether the work repeats at one bench or moves between instruments, tube types and barcodes, the instruments and LIS/LIMS to connect, installation space and power, safety for working alongside people, and operating hours. The public specifications of uLab Uno, Duo and Mobile serve as reference numbers.
