About
Tanner Thiessen is a pioneering researcher in clinical laboratory automation, with a primary focus on integrating autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) into healthcare environments. His major contribution lies in demonstrating the feasibility and practical implementation of collaborative robotics for material transport in clinical laboratories, specifically through his pilot study of the Collaborative Robotics (Cobot) Proxie robot at Mayo Clinic Laboratories. This groundbreaking work, published in 2025, has already garnered 2 citations, signaling growing interest in his innovative approach to laboratory workflow optimization. Thiessen’s research bridges the gap between industrial automation and healthcare settings, addressing critical challenges in moving supplies and materials efficiently within clinical spaces. His pilot study represents a significant step toward the broader adoption of AMRs in medical laboratories, potentially revolutionizing how these facilities handle logistics. By paving the path for autonomous systems in clinical environments, Thiessen is helping to shape the future of laboratory medicine, where robots work alongside humans to enhance safety, reduce errors, and improve operational efficiency. His work is particularly relevant as healthcare facilities increasingly seek automation solutions to address staffing shortages and rising operational demands.
