Claim 8:
9. A robotic system operable for transfer of fluid between a container accessible via a container-septum and a fluid transfer assembly accessible via a fluid transfer connector configured to establish fluid communication between the container and the fluid transfer assembly for said transfer of fluid, said fluid transfer connector comprising a body member and a sleeve displaceable relative to each other between an extended position, which is a normal position, and a collapsed position, at which the fluid transfer connector establishes said fluid communication, said fluid transfer connector comprising a fluid transfer connector septum positioned at a distal end of the sleeve, the robotic system comprising:
a controller; and
a manipulator controllable by the controller, the manipulator being configured to apply a variable collapsing force to manipulate the fluid transfer assembly through a collapsing stage, during which the sleeve and the body member are displaced relative to each other to reduce a distance between the fluid transfer connector septum and the body member,, wherein the manipulator is further controllable by the controller and configured to increase the variable collapsing force continuously during at least a portion of the collapsing stage.
