Project details
Project title
Clinical lab automation with AI-enhanced human robot interface for health practitioners
Project description
This Project will develop an AI-based robotic programming interface based on large-language model that allows practitioners, regardless of their technical expertise, to efficiently program and control robots. The expected outcomes are to improve efficiency in designing and deploying clinical lab automation and to expand the use of robotics within laboratories. This may lead to improvements with workflow for clinical lab automation, particularly during high-demand situations like pandemic outbreaks.
