The Platform
Elsie moves fluidly through existing laboratory environments, carrying samples, consumables, and materials between instruments with precision and care. Designed for the demands of regulated labs, built in San Diego.
Our proprietary lab orchestration software monitors every instrument, robot, and process in real time. It dynamically dispatches the nearest available robot, sequences tasks, and ensures continuous throughput with complete traceability.
The Problem
Modern labs have automated individual instruments, but the spaces between them remain stubbornly manual. Samples sit waiting. Technicians are paged. Handoffs are missed. Every manual transfer introduces delay, variability, and risk. Tactus closes that gap.
How It Works
The orchestrator monitors all connected instruments in real time. When a stainer completes a batch, a centrifuge finishes spinning, or a rack needs loading, it knows.
The nearest available robot is automatically assigned and routed to the task. No manual scheduling. No wasted time.
Elsie picks up, transports, and places samples at the next station, with full traceability logged at every step. The workflow never stops.

Event
Five days after we announced her name, Elsie by Tactus, our autonomous humanoid lab assistant, met the clinical laboratory industry at booth 2616 in Anaheim. Here is what three days on the ADLM floor told us.
Announcement
Our autonomous humanoid lab assistant has a name. It belongs to the first robot in history that explored the world on its own, built in a laboratory in 1949.
Event
Laboratory leaders, industry partners, friends, and family came to our San Diego campus to see what it looks like when a humanoid robotic lab assistant works alongside a lab team.
