Claim Text:
1. A laboratory product transport element for a laboratory transport system, the laboratory product transport element comprising: an energy source configured to furnish drive power, wherein the energy source comprises an energy receiver, and wherein the energy receiver comprises at least one induction coil capable of absorbing an alternating electromagnetic field; at least one signal receiver configured to receive control signals; a control unit configured to generate drive signals as a function of at least one control signal obtained from the at least one receiver; at least one movement device, with which the laboratory product transport element can move independently on a transfer path; at least one drive device configured to drive the at least one movement device as a function of the drive signals of the control unit, the at least one drive device being driven by the drive power; at least one holder configured to hold a laboratory product to be transported; and a memory configured to store a geometry of a transfer path, wherein the control unit is further configured to generate drive signals from a control signal obtained from the at least one signal receiver, which represents an objective and, by means of the stored transfer path geometry, which leads the laboratory product transport element to the objective, corresponding to the control signal received from the at least one signal receiver.
