At INES 2026 in Budapest we present two contributions on advanced automation. One introduces a multi-robot laboratory system enabling scalable enzymatic assays through coordinated liquid handling, mobile robots and a collaborative robot. The second presents UWB–IMU sensor fusion with Kalman filtering for robust indoor positioning, improving accuracy in challenging environments. Together, both works demonstrate progress in scalable lab automation and reliable real-time localization.
