Design of a Robot-Assisted Chemical Dialysis System
Scientists perform diverse manual procedures that are tedious and laborious. Such procedures are considered a bottleneck for modern experimental science, as they consume time and increase burdens in fields including material science and medicine. We employ a user-centered approach to designing a robot-assisted system for dialysis, a common multi-day purification method used in polymer and protein synthesis. Through two usability studies, we obtain participant feedback and revise design requirements to develop the final system that satisfies scientists' needs and has the potential for applications in other experimental workflows. We anticipate that integration of this system into real synthesis procedures in a chemical wet lab will decrease workload on scientists during long experimental procedures and provide an effective approach to designing more systems that have the potential to accelerate scientific discovery and liberate scientists from tedious labor.
