About
Automata is on a mission to empower scientists by making automation a reality for every lab. Founded by architects from Zaha Hadid's research lab, the company developed an open, integrated approach after seeing that specialized benchtop instruments still depended on human interaction. Its LINQ platform combines a fully automated lab bench with accompanying software so labs can create workflows, manage data, and gain walkaway time without sacrificing space. Automata focuses on life-science applications including genomics, cell biology, and assay and screening, helping labs deliver results and medicines faster.
