The project A1 aims for a new type of synthesis robot applicable to polymer research. This technology is characterized by the fact that humans and robots can work together on one experiment without any risk for humans due to the chemical handling. For this purpose, a robot will be developed, which recognizes humans via sensors. In this way, despite the transfer of chemicals, the robot should not cause any risk and, instead, interact and work together with the human.
