Helping to bring mobile robots into the laboratory with a robot friendly incubator
Benefits:
Laboratory automation with robotics often stops short of full automation, since common lab devices such as incubators are designed for human use.
Thanks to the SiLA 2 standard, it is now possible to adapt these devices and with the addition of suitable hardware.
Features:
The incubator controller uses a compact SiLABOX based on an off-the-shelf Raspberry Pi controller, running LINUX together with an adapted open source SiLA 2 driver and a custom motor controller. The controller also includes front panel buttons for manual override.
The SiLA-enabled device can be controlled via Wi-Fi from a laptop running a SiLA-compatible browser such as that available from UniteLabs (see products and drivers page here).
