  • Method, computer program product, and system for establishing a sample tube set
    Patent number: 11199558
    Abstract: A method of establishing a sample tube set which is adapted to be processed by a laboratory automation system.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 3, 2017
    Date of Patent: December 14, 2021
    Assignee: Beckman Coulter, Inc.
    Inventor: Sebastian Streibl
  • Methods and systems for tube inspection and liquid level detection
    Patent number: 10429401
    Abstract: Container identification data from a container inspection unit that analyzes a container containing a liquid is combined with liquid level detection raw data from a liquid level detection unit that analyzes the container containing the liquid and a liquid level detection result is generated. The liquid level detection result is cross-checked with additional data from the container inspection unit. The result can be used to plan a route for the container in the laboratory automation system.

  • SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CAMERA-BASED AUTO-ALIGNMENT
    Publication number: 20140100694
    Abstract: A camera-based auto-alignment process can include gripping a first calibration tool by a gripper unit of a robotic arm. Images of the first calibration tool can be captured by a camera coupled to the gripper unit. The gripper unit and camera unit can be aligned on two roughly parallel axes. The images can be analyzed to calibrate the axis of view of the camera with the gripper axis, providing an XY calibration of the robotic arm. The gripper unit can be calibrated on a Z-axis using optical calibration with landmarks provided on a second calibration tool, and/or by moving the gripper unit towards the work surface until it makes contact with the work surface and stops. Once calibrated, the camera can be used to identify one or more landmarks at known locations on the work surface to align the robotic arm with the work surface.
