GRIPS has begun the development of a high-precision automatic dispensing system based on open-source technology.

In September 2023, GRIPS will begin developing an automated dispensing system that can be provided with high precision and low cost in collaboration with MTM Systems, Luominen Lab, and Yoshiki Nakahachi. By utilizing the outcomes of this project, it will become possible to implement complex repetitive tasks in laboratories, particularly in the medical and bio fields, in a compact and low-cost manner, enabling the automation of vast repetitive experimental tasks in drug discovery and new material development, and it is expected to acquire high-precision experimental data quickly and affordably. The system being built consists of the automated dispensing machine OT-2, the industrial robot arm UFactory Lite6, and the general-purpose robot control platform ROSSetter. ROSSetter is a general-purpose robot controller based on ROS2 that GRIPS is independently developing, and in this project, the beta version of ROSSetter is planned to be adopted as the overall integration controller for the system.
