About
Shalaka Joshi is a researcher specializing in laboratory automation, robotics, and analytical measurement processes, with a particular focus on integrating dual-arm robotic systems into life science workflows. Her work addresses a critical gap in scientific automation: while high-throughput bioscreening processes have long been mechanized, complex analytical measurement procedures have remained largely manual. Joshi's research demonstrates how dual-arm robots — notably the Yaskawa CSDA10F — can be equipped with electronic pipettes and intuitive graphical user interfaces to automate intricate sample preparation and measurement workflows with high repeatability and minimal contamination risk. Her most-cited contribution, a 2018 paper on analytical measurements using dual-arm robots (47 citations), established a foundational framework for this emerging field. Subsequent work expanded these principles into specialized applications, including cholesterol determination in biliary stent incrustations and the integration of solid phase extraction units for compound-oriented measurements. Across her publications, Joshi consistently highlights the practical advantages of robotic automation — efficiency, standardization, and reduced human error. Her body of work collectively advances the vision of a fully automated analytical laboratory, making her a valuable voice for researchers and students exploring the intersection of robotics and laboratory science.
