Abstract
A method for generating a control program for a laboratory automation device includes: receiving video data displaying a work area of a laboratory assistant, the work area containing a hand-held pipette and containers for receiving a liquid; detecting openings of the containers in the video data and determining positions of the openings; detecting a pipette tip of the hand-held pipette in the video data and determining a movement of the tip; and generating the control program for the laboratory automation device from the movement of the pipette tip with respect to the positions of the openings, wherein the control program is adapted for moving a pipetting arm with a robot pipette of the laboratory automation device with respect to containers of the laboratory automation device accordingly to the movement of the hand-held pipette in the work area.
