Cool, @geo
! It sounds like our experiences were very similar, but mine in EE. I’m doing a lot of automation now too. What are you automating in the lab? Are you still in Matlab? I’ve still never used it outside of academics.
We moved over to a python based code which I love much more! We are currently automating large liquid handlers to adapt bacteria cells to a new environment.
We also have smaller machines to automate a lot of repetitive bench lab work such as extracting DNA from cells.
That’s pretty cool! So does that involve dispense/extraction and temperature types of things? Are you using Python on a pi? Is this custom equipment or do they sell robots off the shelf for that stuff that you’re integrating?
My most recent projects include digitizing assembly instructions and adding physical sensors as interlocks in each step, I work in manufacturing for electronics. Imagine building lots of variations of desktop computers and needing to ensure every part is inserted in the proper order and have smart cameras and different sensors to check. We use C#, JavaScript and PLC’s as the core platform.
