Semi-Automatic Transient Transfection Robot
Developed and delivered a semi-automatic platform for mammalian cell transfection and scale-up, to replace a week long manual process. The system handles a large quantity of bioreactors and automates cell, media and enhancer dispensing, inline reagent preparation, and sample preparation for later stages. This dramatically upscales processing capacity, improves consistency, and reduces operator workload.
Automatic pH Adjuster
Developed a fully automated pH-adjuster for pharmaceutical R&D samples, which replaced a tediously slow manual workflow with a high-throughput, reliable, and hands-off solution.
The system integrates scanning, decapping, pH measurement, controlled pH adjustments, mixing, and recapping, which is all continuous monitored with AI-enhanced vision. This significantly increased throughput and consistency, while reducing operator workload.
Automatic Analytical Sample Preparation Line
Architected and developed a large-scale automated QC sample preparation line for pharmaceutical production. Thereby replacing manual workflows and eliminating bottlenecks in throughput. The system integrates scanning, weighing, reagent dosing, mixing, and sampling, while ensuring large throughput, consistency and traceability. The platform has been deployed multiple locations.
Sealed Low-Cost Three-Axis Force/Torque Sensor
Developed and optimized a compact, hermetically sealed three-axis force/torque sensor for outdoor legged robotics. Utilized FEM to optimize housing stiffness and reduce mass while ensuring IP68 sealing. Achieved high accuracy with a single torsion bridge. Thereby, enabling cost-effective production and robust deployment in harsh environments.
