Centrifuge Loader: MQP
Centrifuge Loader: MQP
Purpose: This MQP aims to develop a robotic system that collaborates with an existing SCARA-type arm, such as the PreciseFlex 400, to automate the loading and unloading of microplates in a conventional benchtop centrifuge. The project involves collaborating with our sponsor company, Aera Therapeutics, to create an affordable, reliable solution for their lab.
The Major Qualifying Project (MQP) is the senior capstone project at Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI).Â
This project is still in progress and will be updated periodically.
