PyLabRobot
Use PyLabRobot's hardware-agnostic frontends, resource tree, trackers, and device-specific backends to develop laboratory automation. Default to local manifest validation, bookkeeping, and the software-only chatterbox backend.

Non-negotiable hardware boundary
Never connect to, initialize, home, move, heat, shake, spin, pump, open/close, or otherwise command physical equipment automatically. Do not turn a simulation plan into a live backend merely by changing an environment variable, config value, or import.
