# Autonomous Systems for Self-driving Labs Star Follow @AccelerationConsortium Follow @sgbaird Issue Get Help Embark on a journey into the world of robotics and automation for self-driving laboratories. This asynchronous, remote course equips you with the skills to control peristaltic pumps, linear actuators, automated liquid handlers, and solid dispensers using a microcontroller, a motor driver, and a workflow orchestration package. You'll also learn to control mobile cobots and perform spatial referencing and ID recognition via computer vision. The course will conclude with a solid sample transfer workflow using a multi-axis robot. Remotely accessible resources will be provided as necessary. ::::{grid} 1 2 3 3 :::{grid-item-card} Overview View prerequisites, learning outcomes, and topics. +++ ```{button-ref} overview :color: info :expand: :click-parent: Explore ``` ::: :::{grid-item-card} Registration Register to gain access to quizzes and assignments. +++ ```{button-link} https://learn.utoronto.ca/programs-courses/courses/4132-autonomous-systems-self-driving-labs :color: info :expand: :click-parent: Register {octicon}`link-external;1em` ``` ::: :::{grid-item-card} Course Content Begin working through modules, one-by-one. +++ ```{button-ref} 3.0-orientation :color: info :expand: :click-parent: Begin ``` ::: :::: ```{toctree} :hidden: 🗺️ Overview 🎓 Register 🧩 3.0 Orientation <3.0-orientation.md> 🧩 3.1 Pumps and Pipettes <3.1-pumps-and-pipettes.md> 🧩 3.2 Serial communication <3.2-serial-communication.md> 🧩 3.3 Liquid Handlers <3.3-liquid-handlers.md> 🧩 3.4 Mobile robotics <3.4-mobile-robotics.md> 🧩 3.5 Computer vision <3.5-computer-vision.md> 🧩 3.6 Solid sample transfer <3.6-solid-sample-transfer.md> ```
