Abstract

The article focuses on the development of FLUID (Flowing Liquid Utilizing Interactive Device), an open-source robotic system created by a team of scientists from Japan's Hokkaido University, led by Professor Keisuke Takahashi, to automate chemical experiments. FLUID is constructed using 3D printing and affordable electronic components, making laboratory automation more accessible and customizable. The system features four independent modules for precise control of chemical processes, demonstrated through the automation of cobalt and nickel coprecipitation. Future enhancements will include additional sensors for monitoring parameters like temperature and pH, as well as software improvements for better task management. [Extracted from the article]
