The Robotics-4-Labautomation Symposium is a Europe-wide meeting point and exchange platform for all interested parties from the fields of robotics, automation, laboratory and pharmaceuticals. The internationally orientated event offers exciting presentations and plenty of space to make new contacts and knowledge-transfer.

As a special guest this year, the Robotics-4-Lab Automation Symposium welcomes Dr Miriam Guest from Charles River Laboratories as the event’s keynote speaker. She will give a speech on the exciting topic „Application of Automation in GMP Laboratories“. Afterwards, Dr Miriam Guest will also join in the panel discussion, which will deal with the topic of robotics innovations improving laboratories: past and future success stories.

Other renowned speakers from across Europe will also be attending the event to share their expertise with the interested audience, such as Jens Auer from Stäubli International AG, laboratory automation expert Dr Patrick Courtney and Lucas Schmidt from the ETO Group. To place the event in an international context, Luiza Almeida from the Instituto Pedro Nunes in Portugal will moderate the event.

Get to know the TraceBot consortium

The event is part of the TraceBot project, which is funded by the European Union as part of the H2020-EU.2.1.1. INDUSTRIAL LEADERSHIP programme. The aim of the TraceBot project is to develop laboratory robots that fulfil the criterion of traceability and are therefore suitable for use in laboratory environments and other application areas with high safety and flexibility requirements. The TraceBot consortium will therefore be present at the event to share the results and successes of the project with the audience: Dr Anthony Remazeilles from the Fundación TECNALIA research & innovation, Prof Marcus Vincze, from TU Wien as well as Dr Mathieu Grossard (CEA) and Dr Charly Coulon (Invite GmbH) will give presentations on current developments in the funded project, such as the perception of transparent objects.

"As project manager and coordinator of the TraceBot funding project, I am delighted that we are once again hosting the Robotics-4-Labautomation-Symposium in Konstanz. It is important to share the progress of our funded project with the expert community and to maintain a close dialogue with them“, explains Maike Neumann from the health network BioLAGO e.V., organiser of the event.

This year’s Robotics-4-Labautomation-Symposium will focus on the following topics: From development to production: application of robotic solutions into the industry, regulatory and GMP as well as trends and future outlook of laboratory automation.

All experts in laboratory automation and robotics from research and industry who want to network and exchange ideas with scientists and industry representatives from all over Europe are invited.

Admission is free for all participants. Media representatives are also cordially invited to the event.
