Who we are

One of us did the work. One of us builds the robot.

Kinesis Labs is a clinical lab scientist and a roboticist building the station together — so every task is judged by someone who has done it by hand.

Clinical Lab Scientist

  • 10 years doing this exact work by hand, across every department of a hospital lab.
  • 3 years building the software systems labs use to track samples.
  • Labels the training data, judges whether a demonstration was good, and can say why a robot got it wrong.
  • Knows, by name, the lab directors this station is built for.

Robotics · Electronics · Machine learning

  • Has already automated a lab assay end to end with a robot arm.
  • Has built several drones and robots, from the electronics up.
  • Computer vision and robot learning; trains models on GPU clusters.
  • Biochemistry background and real wet-lab time, so the constraints need no translation.
  • MS Data Science, University of Virginia. BSc Biochemistry with Data Science, UC San Diego.
