Project Goals
Develop the prototype of an easily an automated liquid handling system that satisfy the following constraints
- Low Cost – Cost significantly lower than $10,000.
- Hardware Platform that is easily accessible
- Hardware Design that is easily replicable by other iGEM teams.
- Software Design that is robust, plug and play. Can swap modules from other iGEM teams.
- Design that is easily extensible, to allow future collaboration with other iGEM team.
Achievements of Goals
We have developed BioBrick-A-Bot Model C, which satisfy all the goals listed above, as follows
- Low Cost – Cost under $700. Require 2 NXT Kit ($278 each), Wooden Frame ($30 materials) and RobotC ($50).
- Hardware Platform – We selected Lego Mindstorm NXT Kit which is the industrial standard and is easily available.
- Hardware Design – We provide detail instructions of how BioBrick-A-Bot is built, so that other iGEM team can build it. We checked in the Hardware Design document into iGEM registry.
- Software Design is robust, plug and play. We introduce a new concept called LegoBioBrick which consist of a LegoNXT Brick connected to 1-3 motors, doing a specific tasks in BioBrick assembly. The software should be flexible enough to plug-and-playmultiple LegoBioBrick instances build by different iGEM teams, with different physical dimensions and geometric dimensions. 2 prototype instances, ALPHA-120 and ALPHA-90 are developed to proof the point.
- We implemented BioBrick-A-Bot using 2 LegoBioBrick modules ALPHA and PHI, mounted on a frame BETA which can communicate well with each other using Master Slave Synchornization. A demonstration of its functionality by transferring colored dyes on a 96-well plate is provided. We made the software open-source, so that other iGEM team can easily replicate BioBrick-A-Bot or extend its functionality by adding additional modules. In the next version of (BioBrick-A-Bot Version 2.0) we will also add another module called MU, which is a Movement Utility.
