Your task this week is to Create a Python file to run on an Opentrons liquid handling robot. 0. Review this week’s recitation and this week’s lab for details on the Opentrons and programming it. 1. Generate an artistic design using the GUI at opentrons-art.rcdonovan.com. 2. Using the coordinates from the GUI, follow the instructions in the HTGAA26 Opentrons Colab to write your own Python script which draws your design using the Opentrons. ・You may use AI assistance for this coding — Google Gemini is integrated into Colab (see the stylized star bottom center); it will do a good job writing functional Python, while you probably need to take charge of the art concept. ・If you’re a proficient programmer and you’d rather code something mathematical or algorithmic instead of using your GUI coordinates, you may do that instead. 3. If the Python component is proving too problematic even with AI and human assistance, download the full Python script from the GUI website and submit that: 4. If you use AI to help complete this homework or lab, document how you used AI and which models made contributions. 5. Sign up for a robot time slot if you are at MIT/Harvard/Wellesley or at a Node offering Opentrons automation. The Python script you created will be run on the robot to produce your work of art! ・At MIT/Harvard? Lab times are on Thursday Feb.19 between 10AM and 6PM. ・At other Nodes? Please coordinate with your Node. 6. Submit your Python file via this form.
