There’s at least one hackathon project every time that does something akin to this, here’s the winner from the last hackathon: Sanity Check AI
And here’s just the June 2025 hack alone: ai + lab auto hack recap (june 2025)
That’s awesome, it would be amazing to have an out of the box product for comparing deck layout specifications in a file to a computer vision detection model.
Word, I think this is where a digital twin helps a lot.
Most consumables in lab automation are not made with CV in mind so you have introduce a few checks per material especially when straight up comparing pictures but with digital twins, you can account for a greater combinatorial setup. It requires precise modeling but it’s the only way IMO to scale this in labs with crazy amount of workflows.
How do I join the Bay Area Automators and hear about (or help organize) future hackathons?
