Overview of the growth assay workflow.
(a) An overhead image of the Duckbot. Tools are parked along the rear rail of the machine. A deck attachment houses well plates and media reservoirs; tools can be picked up and changed to manipulate materials installed in the bed. (b) A 50cc syringe tool fills wells with relevant media given an experimental definition. (c) Duckweed fronds are picked up and transferred using inoculation loops, among other tools.
