BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0002] Modern laboratories demand efficient, safe and precise automation to handle complex experimental workflows involving multiple materials and processes. Manual handling of delicate glassware and chemicals leads to errors, contamination and safety risks, while inconsistent dispensing and timing compromises experimental outcomes. Additionally, real-time monitoring and accurate analysis are important for ensuring reliable results and guiding users through procedures. Existing systems frequently lack integrated safety measures that prevent hazardous operations or verify user compliance, further increasing risk. Ensuring a comprehensive system that automates material selection, transfer, dispensing and analysis while incorporating safety protocols and user interaction capabilities to streamline laboratory operations, reduce human error, enhance repeatability and improve overall productivity in research and education.

[0003] Traditional laboratory practices relying on manual handling of laboratory glassware and chemicals present significant challenges, including the risk of human error, inconsistent dosing and potential safety hazards. Precise measurement and transfer of chemicals are difficult to maintain, leading to variability in experimental results and increased chances of contamination. Manual movement of fragile materials causes breakage or spills, while continuous monitoring and timely adjustments require constant attention, making complex procedures time-consuming and prone to mistakes. Additionally, ensuring user compliance with safety protocols is challenging without automated verification, increasing the likelihood of accidents or improper handling. These difficulties hinder efficiency, accuracy and safety in laboratory environments, highlighting the need for a solution to automate and streamline these tasks while minimizing risks and improving consistency.

[0024] Referring to Figure 1, an isometric view of a chemical experimentation assistive system is illustrated, comprising a platform 101, a rotatable bench 102 with an annular container 103, a transport belt 104 arranged between the bench 102 and the platform 101, an articulated gripper 105 mounted with the transport belt 104, a guide rail 106 mounted over the platform 101, an articulated clamp 107 disposed over the guide rail 106, an input means 108 is installed along the platform 101, a dispensing unit 109 installed over the platform 101 includes a lid opener 109a with a vertical slider 109b, a chamber 109c, an extendable regulated nozzle 109d, a chromatography unit 110 integrated with the platform 101 includes a tank 110a, a pair of parallely positioned claws 110b installed with a flap 110c and an imaging unit 111 mounted over the platform 101.

[0025] The system disclosed herein comprises of a platform 101 configured to secure over a ground surface, serves as a stable base and developed for efficient storage and easy access to a plurality of laboratory glassware. The platform 101 features a T-configuration developed to efficiently support one or more workstations within a limited area. The horizontal section serves as the primary work surface, while the vertical section provides additional space for secondary workstations, equipment or storage. This configuration maximizes workspace by allowing multiple users to operate simultaneously without crowding, promoting better workflow and collaboration.

[0026] The platform 101 is constructed from strong and durable materials which includes but not limited to steel, Aluminum or reinforced composites for ensuring stability and load-bearing capacity for equipment. The platform 101 facilitates easy access from three sides, enhancing ergonomics and movement. Modular nature allows integration of utilities like power outlets, data ports and cable management make adaptable for laboratory environments requiring shared work areas while maintaining clear division and efficient use of floor space.

[0027] In an embodiment of the present invention, a user is required to activate the system manually by pressing a button installed on the platform 101 and linked with a control unit associated with the device. The button is a type of switch that is internally connected with the device via multiple circuits that upon pressing by the user, the circuits get closed and starts conduction of electricity that tends to activate the device and vice versa.

[0028] An input means 108 is installed on the platform 101, enables user to input commands related to specific type of glassware required at a given workstation. The input means 108 used herein is a touch enabled display unit which is operatively connected to a centralized control unit. The touch enabled display unit as mentioned herein is an LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) screen that presents output in a visible form and is installed on the platform 101. The screen is equipped with touch-sensitive technology, allowing the user to interact directly with the display using their fingers. A touch controller IC (Integrated Circuit) is responsible for processing the analog signals generated when the user inputs details about specific type of glassware required at a given workstation. A touch controller is connected to the control unit through various interfaces which includes but are not limited to SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface) or I2C (Inter-Integrated Circuit).

[0029] The display unit also provides comprehensive control over the entire experimental process, features a list of experiments, where users browse and select from a set of predefined protocols or create custom procedures tailored to specific research objectives. Once an experiment is selected, the user proceeds to the chemical selection and dosage input module, which enables the precise specification of chemicals required for each stage of the experiment, including accurate dosage values and sequence. This is followed by the real-time reaction preview, which offers a dynamic display of live data, sensor feedback and visual monitoring, allowing users to track reaction parameters. In parallel, safety alerts are continuously monitored and proactively notify the user of issues such as chemical incompatibility, equipment malfunction, leak detection or unexpected reaction behavior ensuring a safe laboratory environment.

[0030] A backend logic functions to interprets user inputs such as selected chemicals, volumes, timing, and experiment sequences translates them into precise, low-level commands for the hardware components of the platform 101. These commands coordinate the operation of motors, pneumatic actuators, clamps, chemical dispensing, transport belts 104 and sensors. For instance, if an experiment requires transferring a specific volume of a chemical into the glassware at a certain time, the backend logic activates the appropriate valve, align the glassware accurately and monitor the dosage. Simultaneously, the transport and gripper 105 of the platform 101 to move required glassware to and from designated stations as per the experimental timeline. The backend ensures seamless synchronization among movements, chemical handling and data feedback effectively automating complex laboratory workflows. This integration significantly enhance precision, user engagement and safety in chemical experimentation.

[0031] A selection module is integrated into the system and configured to display various chemicals, experiments, and related parameters through the input means 108, such as a touchscreen interface. The module provides an intuitive, user-friendly graphical interface that allows users to browse and select from a predefined or customizable list of experiments, along with associated chemicals, concentrations, volumes and procedural steps. Once an experiment is selected, the module dynamically presents relevant chemical options and operational parameters tailored to that specific process.

[0032] The users input values such as dosage amounts, reaction time, temperature settings and safety thresholds directly through the interface. The module ensures that only compatible chemicals and safe parameter ranges are available for selection, minimizing user error and enhancing safety. Integrated with the system’s backend logic, the selection module translates user choices into executable commands, initiating automated actions across dispensing, transport and sensors. This enables seamless, precise and efficient setup and execution of complex laboratory workflows.

[0033] A rotatable bench 102 is integrated into the system to store and organize a wide variety of laboratory glassware, such as beakers, flasks, test tubes, and measuring cylinders. The rotatable bench 102 comprises an annular container 103 which is mounted on a circular sliding unit over the bench 102 to hold various laboratory items such as beakers, flasks and test tubes, organized within circular structure. The circular sliding unit enables smooth rotational movement around a central axis for allowing users to rotate the bench 102 to quickly locate and retrieve specific glassware without needing to move around the lab or manually search through cluttered shelves. The circular sliding unit consists of a stationary base; a rotating disc mounted on precision bearings and a DC motor coupled to the rotating disc via gear train. The motor delivers controlled torque to rotate the bench 102 smoothly and uniformly to enhance workflow efficiency and safety by minimizing the handling of fragile glassware.

[0034] The transport belt 104 is arranged between the rotatable bench 102 and the platform 101 serves as a seamless conveyor arrangement to transfer laboratory glassware efficiently and safely from the bench 102 to the platform 101. The belt 104 made of durable, chemical-resistant materials such as reinforced rubber or synthetic polymers is driven by an electric motor directly coupled to the roller through a rigid connection to guide the belt 104. As the motor shaft rotates, directly spins the roller. The roller’s surface contacts the belt 104, creating friction that moves the belt 104 along path. Idler rollers, which are free-spinning, help maintain belt 104 tension. This ensures smooth and precise conveyance of laboratory glassware with proper grip and alignment.

[0035] An articulated gripper 105 is mounted alongside the transport belt 104 is developed to securely grip laboratory glassware from the rotatable bench 102 and precisely place onto the belt 104. The articulated gripper 105 works by using a series of interconnected joints and segments operates pneumatically to rotate or bend each joint independently. Each joint contains cylinders that extend and retract when air pressure is applied. Compressed air is directed through pneumatic valves into the cylinders, pushing a piston that moves segment or rotates joints, resulting in flexible, articulated motion.

[0036] This provides multiple degrees of freedom, allowing the gripper 105 to bend, rotate and reach various positions. At the end of the segment, a gripping jaw are connected for securely grasp delicate laboratory glassware to enable precise and reliable handling. The gripper 105 works using an electric motor which converts rotational motion into linear or angular movement through gear drive, allowing the jaws to securely grasp laboratory glassware of varying sizes and shapes from the bench 102 and move accurately onto the surface of the transport belt 104 for transporting the glassware towards the platform 101.

[0037] One or more conveyors arranged along the length of the platform 101 are developed to receive glassware from the transport belt 104 and deliver to designated workstations. The conveyor comprises a guide rail 106 securely mounted along the length of the platform 101, serving as a precise track for movement. An articulated clamp 107 attached to a slidable carriage that moves smoothly along the guide rail 106 to provide stable, linear guidance, ensuring accurate positioning and controlled travel of the clamp 107 along the platform 101. The slidable carriage is driven by a motor connected through a lead screw to converts motor rotational motion into linear movement for propelling the carriage smoothly along the rail 106 for precise position.

[0038] The articulated clamp 107 works by using a series of interconnected joints and segments operates pneumatically to rotate or bend each joint independently. Each joint contains cylinders that extend and retract when air pressure is applied. Compressed air is directed through pneumatic valves into the cylinders, pushing a piston that moves segment or rotates joints, resulting in flexible, articulated motion allowing the clamp 107 to reach various positions. At the end of the segment, a clamping jaw are connected for securely grasp delicate laboratory glassware to enable precise and reliable handling. The clamp 107 works using an electric motor which converts rotational motion into linear or angular movement through gear drive, allowing the jaws to securely grasp glassware from the platform 101 and place on a specific workstation.

[0039] An optical sensor is embedded within both the gripper 105 and the carriage assemblies to detect the exact location, orientation and presence of the glassware. The optical sensor works by emitting a beam of infrared light from an LED and detecting the reflected light using a photodiode. When a piece of glassware, enters the sensor’s detection range, reflects some of the emitted infrared light back toward the receiver. The amount and angle of the reflected light are analyzed to determine the object's presence, position or distance.

[0040] If the reflected signal exceeds a predefined threshold, the sensor sends an output signal to the control unit which processes the data in real time to regulates the actuation of components like grippers 105, clamps 107 or carriages. The gripper 105 uses this feedback to align and securely grasp the glassware with precision. As the glassware is transferred onto the transport belt 104, the carriage is positioned to receive glassware, again using sensor input for alignment. The articulated clamp 107 then actuates to gently secure the glassware without slippage or damage. This ensures high accuracy, minimizes errors and allows synchronized, adaptive motion between components.

[0041] A dispensing unit 109 is installed over the platform 101 and is developed to store and accurately dispense chemicals into glassware after being transported by the clamps 107 and positioned within the dispensing unit 109. Based on user-defined inputs specifying the type of chemical, dosage, and timing, the control unit actuates a lid opener 109a mounted on the platform 101 to grip and gently lift the lid of the incoming glassware. The lid opener 109a comprises a clipper coupled with a vertical slider 109b, both installed over the platform 101 to remove lids from glassware prior to chemical dispensing.

[0042] When the glassware is positioned within the dispensing unit 109, the control unit actuates the vertical slider 109b to lower the clipper onto the lid, which provides controlled up-and-down movement along a vertical axis. The vertical slider 109b consists of a guide rail, a sliding carriage and a vertically mounted servomotor connected to a lead screw. When the motor rotates, converts rotary motion into linear movement, causing the carriage to move upward or downward along the guide rail. The carriage securely holds the clippers and ensures smooth, stable vertical travel.

[0043] The clipper disclosed above consist of a servo motor to provide precise rotational motion, enabling the clipper to open and close jaws, which are spring loaded to ensure firm, reliable gripping. When activated by the control unit, the motor provides movements to the jaws to position for gripping the lid then closes to hold firmly. Once the lid is gripped then the slider 109b raises vertically to remove the lid from the glassware.

[0044] The dispensing unit 109 includes a chamber 109c with a plurality of internal partitions, each serving as a dedicated reservoir for storing different chemicals required for laboratory operations. The chamber 109c is securely mounted above the platform 101 using vertical supports that provide structural stability and maintain proper alignment with the dispensing unit 109. The partitions to ensure compatibility and prevent cross-contamination or degradation over time. Each compartment is individually sealed and connected to own dispensing line, allowing the user to select and dispense specific chemicals without interference. The vertical placement of the chamber 109c ensures efficient gravity-assisted flow.

[0045] The dispensing unit 109 further includes an extendable regulated nozzle 109d is connected to each partition of the chemical storage chamber 109c, developed to precisely deliver the selected chemical into the glassware. The nozzle 109d mounted on a linear actuator that allows the nozzle 109d to extend downward and retract after dispensing. The linear actuator mentioned herein includes but not limited to a magnetic linear actuator, a pneumatic linear actuator or a piezoelectric actuator.

[0046] The linear actuator used herein is preferably a magnetic linear actuator, which works using electromagnetic force to produce direct linear motion, consists of a stationary stator embedded with electromagnetic coils and a moving magnetic nozzle 109d slider embedded with permanent magnets. When electric current is passed through the coils in a controlled sequence, a magnetic field is generated, which creates a force that drives the magnetic slider linearly. This allows the nozzle 109d to extend smoothly and precisely into position above the glassware to prevent splashing or miss delivery of the chemical.

[0047] A pliable gasket fitted around the opening of each nozzle 109d serves to seal the mouth of the glassware during chemical dispensing, preventing spillage, evaporation or contamination. The gasket conforms snugly to various glassware shapes and sizes when the nozzle 109d extends downward. As the nozzle 109d enters the glassware opening, the gasket compresses slightly, creating an airtight seal that stabilizes the nozzle 109d position and minimizes exposure to the environment. This sealing action also helps control splashing and reduces fumes by containing vapors within the glassware. The gasket’s elasticity allows repeated compression and release without degradation, ensuring durability during chemical dispensing.

[0048] Each nozzle 109d is equipped with a valve developed to control the dispensing of chemicals accurately according to user inputs. The valve mentioned herein operates using a solenoid valve that regulates the flow of chemicals from the chamber 109c to the nozzle 109d tip. When the control unit receives input command specifying the type and quantity of chemical to be dispensed, sends an electrical signal to the valve. When the electric current is applied, the solenoid coil generates a magnetic field, pulling the valve open to allow controlled amount of chemical passage. This precise flow regulation helps to maintain consistency and minimizes contamination risk.

[0049] A chromatography unit 110 is integrated with the platform 101 to enable execution of chromatography processes for enhancing precision and repeatability in analytical workflows. The chromatography unit 110 includes a tank 110a securely attached to the platform 101, serving as a container 103 for the developing solvent used in chromatographic separation processes. The tank 110a is developed to maintain solvent stability and prevent contamination or evaporation. The tank 110a dimensions are optimized to accommodate standard chromatography plates vertically, allowing uniform solvent migration along the plate’s surface.

[0050] The chromatography unit 110 also includes a pair of parallely claws 110b is mounted on a movable flap 110c using a sliding arrangement and is positioned over the tank 110a to grip and handle chromatography plates. The sliding flap 110c consists of a rigid panel mounted onto linear guide rails, driven by a connected to a servo motor coupled with a lead screw to allow the claws 110b to move vertically and horizontally as required. When a command is issued such as to dip the chromatography plate, the control unit sends electrical signals to the motor for converting these signals into precise linear motion, causing the flap 110c to slide smoothly along guide rails to the desired position. This allows the attached claws 110b to perform gripping, lifting or dipping the plates with high precision.

[0051] The claws 110b are developed to open and close using miniature servo motors, integrated with gear drive. Each claw is connected to the motor, allowing synchronized movement for uniform gripping force. When the control unit sends a signal, the motor rotates, causing the claws 110b to either open or close around the chromatography plate. Once the chromatography plate is positioned between the claws 110b. The flap 110c, then lowers the claws 110b along with the gripped plate into the tank 110a to initiate the chromatographic development process. After the designated time, the flap 110c retracts the claws 110b and plate, halting solvent migration. This ensures repeatable, hands-free handling of chromatography plates, improving accuracy, safety and efficiency in laboratory environments.

[0052] The chromatography unit 110 further includes a CCD (Charge-Coupled Device) camera is installed with the chromatography tank 110a to capture high-resolution images of the chromatography plate during or after the development process. Positioned to face the surface of the dipped plate, the camera functions by converting light patterns into electronic signal using an array of light-sensitive photodiodes (pixels). When light strikes a CCD sensor each pixel accumulates an electric charge proportional to the light intensity. These charges are then transferred across the sensor in a controlled sequence to convert into voltage and digitized to form an image.

[0053] An analysis module is integrated with the control unit and is configured to receive high-resolution images from the CCD camera for processing and analysis of chromatography results. Once the chromatography plate is developed and images are captured, the module uses image processing algorithms to detect and analyze key features such as spot positions, intensity, color differentiation and migration distances of separated compounds. The module identifies each chemical band or spot on the plate and determine Rf (retention factor) value by comparing the distance traveled by the compound relative to the solvent front and also quantify the concentration of compounds based on spot intensity using calibrated reference data. The module applies filtering, contrast enhancement and background correction to improve accuracy. Results are then compiled that includes visual overlays, numerical data and interpretation summaries. This analysis speeds up the process and ensures consistent, reliable results for laboratory quality control, research or diagnostics.

[0054] A user interface is installed within the computing unit accessed by the user to transfer processed chromatography data, once the analysis module completes image evaluation and result generation to receive and display the chromatography results. The computing unit mentioned herein includes, but not limited to smartphone, tablet or laptop that comprises a processor where the data is received from the microcontroller is stored, process and retrieve the output data in order to display on computing unit. A communication unit for establishing a wireless connection between the control unit and a computing unit that is inbuilt within the user-interface.

[0055] The communication unit used herein includes, but not limited to Wi-Fi (Wireless Fidelity) module, Bluetooth module, GSM (Global System for Mobile Communication) module. The communication unit used herein is preferably a Wi-Fi module that is a hardware component that enables the control unit to connect wirelessly with the computing unit. The Wi-Fi module works by utilizing radio waves to transmit and receive data over short distances. The core functionality relies on the IEEE 802.11 standards, which define the protocols for wireless local area networking (WLAN). Once connected, the communication unit allows the control unit to send and receive data through data packets. This allows users to review, interpret and store chromatography results efficiently to enhance workflow transparency.

[0056] An imaging unit 111 is mounted over the platform 101 and functions as a safety monitoring system designed to capture real-time images of the user and verify compliance with PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) requirements before granting access to the selection module. The imaging unit 111, comprises of an image capturing module including a set of lenses that captures multiple high-resolution images to verify compliance with PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) requirements, then the captured images are stored within memory of the imaging unit 111 in form of an optical data. The imaging unit 111 incorporates a processor that is fed with an artificial intelligence protocol.

[0057] The artificial intelligence protocol operates by following a set of predefined instructions to process optical data and perform tasks autonomously. Initially, captured images are collected and input into a database, which then employs protocol to analyze and interpret the optical data. The processor of the imaging unit 111 via the artificial intelligence protocol processes the optical data and extracts the required data of dimensions of the utensil. The extracted data is further converted into digital pulses and bits and transmits to the control unit for processing the data to detect the presence or absence of required PPE using predefined parameters. If any mandatory protective equipment is found to be missing, the control unit initiates a safety protocol that disables access to the selection module through the input means 108 for preventing the user from initiating experimental procedures.

[0058] The control unit integrates with the safety module developed to ensure secure, error-free operation during experimental procedures through a multi-layered approach. A predefined chemical dosage thresholds and safety limits are predefined maximum allowable amounts set for each chemical to prevent over-dispensing during experiments. The control unit continuously monitors the dosage inputs, if these limits are exceeded, the control unit triggers immediate alerts or intervention protocols to halt dispensing by using an automated valve locking and emergency stop functions to act swiftly in response to irregularities such as leaks, overpressure or unexpected commands to instantly locking valves and stopping all operations to protect both the user and equipment.

[0059] The user interface enhances safety by displaying real-time warnings and simulated consequences of unsafe actions such as potential flask cracking, smoke or fume symbols and alert popups advising dosage reductions. For example, if a user attempts to mix hazardous to cause dangerous exothermic reactions, the control unit cross-references stored chemical safety data and prevents retrieval of the reactive chemical from the circular lab bench 102, effectively blocking the experiment before initiation. Concurrently, the interface delivers clear safety warnings explaining the risks, guides users on proper handling and suggests safer alternatives. Additionally, for acid-base reactions, if the selected acid concentration or volume surpasses safe thresholds aligned with standard safety guidelines, the control unit promptly issues warnings and provides step-by-step guidance on correct mixing ratios via the display unit. The safety module not only prevents accidents but also fosters user awareness and responsible laboratory practices for ensuring a safer experimental environment.

[0060] A quiz module is configured to present hypothetical chemical reactions through the input means 108, challenging the user to predict the expected outcome. This interactive feature assesses the user’s knowledge and understanding of chemical behavior by requiring them to input their anticipated results before the control unit proceeds. Once the user submits their prediction, the control unit conducts the hypothetical reactions, using the dispensing unit 109. After the reaction, the control unit compares the actual outcome with the user’s input, providing immediate feedback on accuracy and offering explanations or guidance if the prediction was incorrect. This module serves as an educational tool, reinforcing learning through practical demonstration while ensuring safe, controlled execution of experiments for enhancing user engagement and chemical acumen.

[0061] A battery is associated with the device for powering up electrical and electronically operated components associated with the device and supplying a voltage to the components. The battery used herein is preferably a Lithium-ion battery which is a rechargeable unit that demands power supply after getting drained. The battery stores the electric current derived from an external source in the form of chemical energy, which when required by the electronic component of the device, derives the required power from the battery for proper functioning of the device.

[0062] The present invention works best in the following manner, where the device disclosed herein comprises the platform 101 of T-configuration which accommodates one or more workstations with the rotatable bench 102 storing plurality of laboratory glassware, comprising annular container 103 mounted over circular sliding unit to enable precise rotation. with transport belt 104 arranged between bench 102 and platform 101 to convey glassware. The articulated gripper 105 mounted with transport belt 104 grips glassware from bench 102 and positions onto the belt 104. One or more conveyor comprises guide rail 106 mounted over platform 101 with the articulated clamp 107 disposed over guide rail 106 by means of slidable carriage arranged along length of platform 101 receive glassware from belt 104 and convey to workstations based on user input via input means 108, which is a touch-enabled display unit operatively connected with control unit.
