Revobiom selects and directs the evolution of complete microorganism ecosystems, mimicking the natural processes of Darwinian evolution. Whether for ecology, food, energy or public health, micro-organisms are at the heart of todays major challenges. To lead this revolution, the company is developing cutting-edge millifluidic technology. This technology is based on digital millifluidics, which works on the basis of “drop trains”: a succession of hundreds of drops and millimetric air bubbles, carried by oil and manipulated in a tube (diameter 2mm). Each drop, a bioreactor (20 microliters), enables the culture and evolution of a microbial cocktail. The generation of these drops is essential to our process, and the IGUS solution enables us to achieve this reliably, repeatably and precisely. This involves using a cartesian robot arm (xyz) to move the outside of a tube (by suction) in different liquids, so as to generate the desired succession of bioreactors (drops) and gas bubbles, lubricated by oil (three-phase fluid). The automation of this arm, and of the fluid controllers around it, makes it possible to couple this technological brick called "sipper" to our technologies. Translated with DeepL.com (free version)
Our application is aimed at localized weed control in the fields. With the help of an artificial intelligence that allows us to locate weeds, we are developing a system that can burn these weeds with a laser beam in a precise manner. In order to ensure the positioning of our laser, we use three Igus guide rails and three motors with an integrated controller.
