Can I test protocols without a physical robot?

Yes, the skill includes a simulation mode and a browser-based 3D visualizer to validate protocols and track deck states before running them on hardware.

Which robots does PyLabRobot support?

It provides comprehensive support for Hamilton (STAR/STARlet), Opentrons (OT-2), and Tecan (EVO), along with various analytical equipment like BMG plate readers.

Do I need to rewrite code when switching hardware?

No, PyLabRobot uses hardware backends that allow you to change robots by swapping the backend instance without rewriting your core protocol logic.

Is PyLabRobot limited to liquid handling?

No, it is a full laboratory SDK that also controls plate readers, pumps, heater shakers, incubators, centrifuges, and scales through a unified interface.

Automates laboratory hardware through a vendor-agnostic Python interface for liquid handling, material management, and scientific workflows.

PyLabRobot is a hardware-agnostic SDK for creating autonomous laboratories, allowing researchers to control liquid handlers, plate readers, and other equipment using a unified Python interface. It simplifies complex workflows across different hardware vendors like Hamilton, Tecan, and Opentrons, featuring a robust simulation environment to validate protocols before physical execution. By abstracting hardware backends and providing sophisticated resource tracking, it enables reproducible science and seamless scaling from simulation to production hardware.
