Abstract:
Described herein is a modular robotic system for processing a biological sample, and methods of using a modular robotic system for processing a biological sample. The modular robotic system includes a bidirectional plate transportation track to transport plates within the modular robotic system, as well as robotic arms that can transport the plate from a node on the bidirectional plate transportation tack to a sample processing module. Through this system, the sample and/or consumable plates can be transported throughout the processing system. Additionally, the modular robotic system is configured to be expandable, so that the system can be easily adapted to scale up biological sample processing laboratories.

Claim (Index 47):
The modular robotic system of  claim 1 , further comprising a plate input/output module comprising:\n a plate identifier configured to identify a plate or a type of plate; a plate nest, wherein at least one of the robotic arms from the plurality of robotic arms is configured to retrieve a plate from the plate nest or transport a plate to the plate nest; and an input signaler configured to submit a request to a computer system, which operates a robotic arm selected from the plurality of robotic arms to retrieve the plate from the plate nest.
