Autonomous Laboratory Support Robot for Pharmaceutical and Research Facilities

Support laboratory logistics, material movement, and operational workflows with autonomous robotics.

LIM-E™ is an autonomous laboratory support robot built for pharmaceutical, biopharmaceutical, biotechnology, laboratory, and research environments. It handles approved material movement and routine logistics tasks so personnel can stay focused on scientific work, manufacturing operations, and quality responsibilities.

Powered by the Robotic Connective Network

A connected platform that links autonomous robotics, operational software, data, and AI technologies across your facility.

How LIM-E™ Supports Laboratory Operations

Laboratory personnel routinely spend valuable time moving supplies, materials, samples, and equipment between workstations, laboratories, storage areas, and production environments. These activities are essential to operations but can interrupt scientific work, manufacturing processes, and quality-related responsibilities.

LIM-E™ transports laboratory supplies and materials autonomously, so your human team’s time can be utilized on more meaningful tasks.

Core Laboratory Capabilities

Autonomous Material Transport

LIM-E™ autonomously transports laboratory supplies and properly contained materials between designated locations throughout a facility.

Multi-Level Shelving Configuration

LIM-E™ is designed based on your specific laboratory operational needs. It can incorporate a multi-level shelving configuration for autonomous, organized movement of supplies, samples, components, and properly contained materials.

Scheduled Route Management

Configure recurring transport routes and scheduled deliveries to support routine laboratory operations.

Obstacle Detection and Navigation

LIM-E™ autonomously navigates defined environments while detecting and responding to obstacles, supporting operation within active laboratory and production areas.

Elevator and Doorway Integration

Available autonomous integration allows LIM-E™ to support transport workflows across multiple floors and facility areas.

Built Around Scheduled Laboratory Workflows

Unlike manual transport processes that require personnel to move supplies and materials throughout a facility, LIM-E™ follows predefined schedules and routes throughout the day.

When LIM-E™ arrives at a designated location, personnel load approved laboratory supplies or properly contained materials onto the robot’s shelving system. LIM-E™ then autonomously proceeds to the next destination, creating a predictable workflow that integrates into existing laboratory operations.

This approach supports organized material movement across laboratories, departments, storage areas, and operational environments while reducing reliance on manual transport activities.

Pharmaceutical Automation Initiative

LIM-E™ is currently deployed within SAPU Bio’s cGMP environment as part of a joint development collaboration between TechForce Robotics and Oncotelic Therapeutics.

The deployment provides a real-world environment for advancing the use of autonomous robotics within laboratory operations, pharmaceutical workflows, and material transport activities.

Through the collaboration, TechForce Robotics and Oncotelic Therapeutics are advancing robotics, operational data, and artificial intelligence technologies, including Oncotelic’s PDAOAI™ platform, within pharmaceutical and laboratory environments.

PDAOAI™ is Oncotelic Therapeutics’ artificial intelligence platform designed to support automation and intelligent operational initiatives.

The initiative is focused on technologies that may improve workflow visibility, operational consistency, and operational efficiency within regulated environments.
