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.

The EU funded TraceBot project aims at addressing healthcare-related processes, and more exactly the membrane-based sterility testing process. The objective of TraceBot is to bring verifiable actions to robot manipulation by reasoning over sensor-actor trails in a traceability framework based on digital-twin technology and extend current robot motion planners with the automatic execution of self-checking procedures that create a semantic trace of the actions performed. The goal is to create robotic systems able to understand what they perceive and do, to ensure that any manipulation action is verified, thus meeting the needs of the regulated environment.
The TraceBot project brings together six strong partners from five countries: Astech Projects Limited (England), the health network BioLAGO (Germany), Commissariat à l‘Energie Atomique et aux Energies Alternatives (France), Fundación Tecnalia Research & Innovation (Spain), Invite GmbH (Germany), Technische Universität Wien (Austria) and Universität Bremen (Germany) and is being guided by representatives of the pharmaceutical industry. Each partner contributes its own expertise by providing a solution working hand-in-hand with each other partner’s solution. This cooperation will permit the development of tactile grippers for handling medical products, the design of a set of manipulation skills to execute the regulatory checking actions for every assembly step, the generation of an intuitive programming method for a quick adaptation to novel products and tasks and, last but not least, the development of a reasoning framework to monitor and control the safe and failure-resistant operation of the robot system, in order to meet the need of safety-critical automation. The TraceBot project’s coordination, communication and dissemination is carried out by the health network BioLAGO (Germany).
