Abstract

This study evaluated and integrated automatic pathology equipment and a collaborative robot to create a fully autonomous workflow. We selected the Gemini AS Automated Slide Stainer, ClearVue Coverslipper, and Pannoramic 1000 digital slide scanner, controlled by a UR5e robotic arm. To perform essential clinical laboratory tasks, we determined that the robotic arm, in combination with a custom manip…
