About Tactus AI
Elsie is a mobile laboratory robot with two arms, depth vision, force sensing and tactile interaction. It moves through existing laboratories, opens equipment, transfers samples and consumables and operates buttons, doors and instruments designed for human technicians.
Tactus’ orchestration software breaks procedures into reusable robot skills and coordinates the robot with laboratory schedules and digital records. A digital twin supports task development and validation before execution, while remote supervision, quality sign-off and automatic logging connect the physical workflow with laboratory operating systems.
