Hoping to introduce some capabilities of professional labs into at-home bio and chemistry experiments, researchers at Stanford built automated pipetting systems out of the popular LEGO Mindstorms do-it-yourself robotic sets and a few plastic syringes. One of the robots can be built entirely from a single Mindstorms set, so the investment is reasonably moderate.
