Worked on the ECLAIR-Robotics/PCR_Automation repository to advance laboratory automation by developing features for hardware integration and process control. Delivered a Python-based interface for Arduino hardware, enabling serial communication to automate liquid handling tasks and reduce manual intervention. Designed a PCR automation workflow using pseudocode to guide robotic arm planning, incorporating AprilTag detection, calibration, and safety checks for reliable operation. Additionally, improved code maintainability by refactoring and removing unused dependencies, resulting in a cleaner codebase. Demonstrated skills in Python scripting, hardware control, and process improvement, establishing a scalable foundation for automated experimentation and streamlined laboratory workflows.
April 2025 monthly summary focusing on hardware integration and PCR automation. Delivered two major features that enable end-to-end automation: (1) Arduino-based hardware control interface implemented in Python with pyserial to manage serial communication and execute liquid-handling commands (e.g., get, eject); (2) PCR automation workflow design and robotic arm planning guided by pseudocode, covering AprilTag detection, calibration, distance calculation, and liquid manipulation, with pre-execution safety checks. These efforts establish a scalable foundation for automated experimentation and reduced manual intervention.
