Abstract: The disclosure relates to a mobile robot for a laboratory system, the mobile robot being adapted for transporting sample container carriers and for docking to at least one interface module of the laboratory system, the mobile robot comprising a driving base which is adapted to move the mobile robot over a laboratory floor on which the at least one interface module is to be placed, and a transport module mounted to the driving base, the transport module comprising a transport surface for carrying sample container carriers placed thereon, a sensor unit for detecting misalignment in positioning of the transport surface relative to the interface module upon docking, and an alignment drive unit for adjusting the transport surface relative to the driving base to compensate for detected misalignment.
