Elsie

Elsie is a wheeled two-arm laboratory robot that uses a wheeled base, lifting body and two arms to work at standard laboratory benches. Depth cameras, wrist force sensing and tactile feedback allow it to handle samples and consumables, open instruments and operate controls designed for human technicians.

Tactus' software converts validated laboratory procedures into reusable robot skills and coordinates Elsie with schedules, instruments and digital records. A simulation environment supports workflow preparation before physical execution, while remote supervision and automatic logging preserve review and quality-control records for clinical laboratory work.
