Project Summary
![ycn dots](https://www.yorku.ca/capstone/wp-content/uploads/sites/26/2022/02/YCN-DOTS-2-300x30.png)
Drug testing requires an incredibly high number of repeated tests, with more than nine million trials being typical in the average screening process. Our project aims to automate a portion of this process by minimizing the amount of time the lab technician spends handling plates of hazardous compounds. Our solution to this is a Cartesian robotic arm that transports plates to and from stackers that are filled by a user. During this process, plates are taken to precise locations on another system which then runs the tests on the compounds before returning the plates to their initial positions.
