Abstract: A robotic transport system including a drive section connected to a frame, an articulated arm operably coupled to the drive section providing the articulated arm with arm motion in at least one axis of motion moving at least a portion of the articulated arm in a collaborative space, corresponding to the frame, from a first location to another different location in the collaborative space, the articulated arm having an end effector with a workpiece grip having workpiece engagement members engaging and holding a workpiece during workpiece transport, by the arm motion in the at least one axis of motion, wherein at least one of the workpiece engagement members is frangible compliant, having a frangible compliant coupling between a distal portion of the at least one of the workpiece engagement members and a base portion of the end effector from which the at least one of the workpiece engagement members depends.

Abstract: An automatic teaching system for an automated laboratory, the automatic teaching system comprising, a frame having a specimen holder station, a robot transport mounted to the frame and having a drive with at least one degree of freedom and a movable end effector for action with a specimen holder, wherein at least one of the specimen holder station and the movable end effector have a reference base, an electromagnetic distance sensor connected to the movable end effector in a predetermined location on at least one of the robot transport and the specimen holder station relative to the reference base, a fixture with a predetermined geometric pattern formed of discriminant features, variant in at least two dimensions, characterizing the predetermined geometric pattern and registrable by the electromagnetic distance sensor and, a controller operably coupled to the robot transport and communicably connected to the electromagnetic distance sensor to register sensor signals embodying distances.
