Training Your Robot the PaR-PaR Way

octubre 23, 2012 biofuels, Biology, Ciencia, energy, Feature Stories, Science, Top Story
PaR-PaR, a simple high-level, biology-friendly, robot-programming language developed by researchers at JBEI and Berkeley Lab, uses an object-oriented approach to make it easier to integrate robotic equipment into biological laboratories. Effective robots can increase research productivity, lower costs and provide more reliable and reproducible experimental data.
