Robotics Infrastructure

The ATLAS
Platform

A fully integrated autonomous laboratory operating system — combining precision robotics, multi-modal sensing, and AI-driven experimental control in a single unified architecture.

Platform Overview

Built for
Autonomous Science

ATLAS (Autonomous Technology for Laboratory Automation and Science) is BRAINLAB's flagship robotic platform. Now in its second generation, it represents six years of iterative development toward a single goal: a laboratory that designs, executes, and learns from its own experiments without human intervention.

The system integrates mechanical, electronic, chemical, and computational subsystems into a seamless, modular architecture — deployable in research lab, pilot plant, or distributed multi-site configurations.

Precision
Robotic Hardware

Three specialized robotic subsystems work in coordinated concert, each optimized for its role in the autonomous chemistry workflow.

Primary

ATLAS-ARM 6x

Six-axis collaborative robotic arm with 0.02 mm repeatability. Equipped with interchangeable end-effectors for pipetting, solid handling, vial manipulation, and instrument docking. Payload: 3 kg.

Liquid Handling

ATLAS-FLUID 96

96-channel parallel liquid handler with volume range 0.5–1000 µL per channel. Integrated with gravimetric verification, viscosity compensation, and dead-volume minimization algorithms.

Electrochemical

ATLAS-ECHEM 32

32-channel bipotentiostat with integrated cell array. Supports CV, EIS, CA, CP, and GEIS protocols. Built-in reference electrode management, nitrogen purging, and temperature control.

Autonomous Workflow

Closed-Loop
Experiment Cycle

Every ATLAS campaign follows a continuous closed-loop cycle — from AI-driven experiment design through robotic execution, real-time analysis, and model-guided iteration.

ATLAS Autonomous Workflow — Campaign Architecture
DESIGN
AI Experiment Proposal
Bayesian optimization engine selects next experiments maximizing information gain across the parameter space, subject to resource and safety constraints.
EXECUTE
Robotic Execution
Robotic arms prepare, dispense, and characterize samples with full traceability. Real-time anomaly detection triggers automated error recovery protocols.
LEARN
Model Update
Surrogate models retrain on new data, uncertainty estimates recalibrate, and the acquisition function updates — feeding directly into the next design cycle.
Sensor Infrastructure

24-Channel
Real-Time Sensing

Every physical parameter is monitored continuously, enabling precise reaction control and rich multi-modal datasets for machine learning.
