Starting in August, M.Sc. Arman Ahmed Khan will join the celisca team to strengthen our mobile robotics activities, focusing on human-robot interaction. With a strong background in robotics, sensor data fusion, and dynamic gesture recognition on ROS-based platforms, he brings valuable expertise to our research.
After successful months presenting our research at numerous conferences, celisca is now heading into summer break to prepare for upcoming exams. We’ll be back in October with renewed energy. Wishing all partners and friends a wonderful summer!
Automatisierung prägt zunehmend Lebens- und Arbeitsbereiche – effizient, skalierbar und scheinbar neutral. Doch bildet sie gesellschaftliche Vielfalt ab oder verstärkt sie Ausgrenzung? Wer entwickelt diese Systeme und für wen? Prof. Dr. Kerstin Thurow hat für die Essay-Reihe der Akademie der Wissenschaften Hamburg zum Thema „Vielfalt“ einen Beitrag über Automatisierung als Chance und Risiko für Vielfalt geschrieben.
We are pleased to welcome M.Eng.. Manojkumar Krishnaramanujam Baskaran to our process visualization team. With his background in software engineering and expertise in Python, Django, React, and UI/UX design, he will play a key role in shaping our future developments.
We welcome M.Sc. Tianchu Wang to the celisca team! Starting July 15, he will support our automation activities. As part of the GlasAgent project, he will work closely with SCHOTT and our team to develop an automation system for sample preparation in glass analytics. We look forward to the collaboration!
Lab automation demands flexibility – and our new universal gripper delivers. It adapts automatically to various shapes and sizes, from microplates to tubes and irregular containers, enabling seamless workflows across applications. See it in action in our new video and discover how easily it integrates into your system.

At the Industrial Leadership Track of HPLC 2025 in Bruges, leading voices from industry and academia came together to discuss the future of analytical laboratories. Key topics included digital transformation, AI, robotics, sustainability, and the need for interoperable instruments and FAIR data practices. Celisca contributed its expertise in lab automation, system integration, and education of the next generation of scientists.
I am excited to share that I will give a plenary lecture at HPLC 2025 in Bruges this June! The talk, "Automating the Analytical Laboratory – Current Developments and Future Perspectives", will explore cutting-edge automation trends and their impact on analytical science. I am looking forward to meet you at the world’s leading conference on liquid phase separations!
The sample preparation for the determination of benzoic acids and their derivatives is a highly labor-intensive and time-consuming process that requires significant manual effort. To improve efficiency and reproducibility, a fully automated method based on a liquid handling system was developed. This approach utilizes Positive Pressure Extraction to standardize sample preparation and increase throughput. The system has been thoroughly validated, ensuring precise and reliable analysis.
Accurate indoor localization remains a key challenge in complex, multi-zone environments. At INES 2025, Prof. Dr. M.F.R. Al-Okby will present our latest research on a UWB-based tracking system designed to address this issue with high spatial and temporal resolution.
