We’re excited to share that Atinary and ABB Robotics have received the Robotics Application of the Year Award (RAYA) 2026 in the “Future Software Trends / Physical AI” category, hosted by Takeda in Zurich.
Presented by the International Society for Pharmaceutical Engineering (ISPE), the RAYA awards recognize innovations that are pushing the boundaries of robotics and AI in the pharmaceutical industry.
This recognition is also a testament to the power of partnership. Together, ABB Robotics and Atinary are helping accelerate the adoption of Self-Driving Labs®, combining AI, robotics, and intelligent experimentation to help scientists automate repetitive tasks, boost productivity, and accelerate research and development.
The Atinary Lab in Boston and its AI platform SDLabs® turn existing R&D workflows into AI-driven closed loops, creating self-driving labs.
AI agents screen the literature and design the most informative experiments; humans or robots execute them, and every result makes the next experiment smarter. By connecting intelligent optimization algorithms with laboratory systems, SDLabs® helps scientists move from idea to insight faster, accelerating discovery and development.
Congratulations to the teams at Atinary and ABB Robotics whose expertise, collaboration and commitment helped bring this award-winning solution to life.
