Robots for the lab are categorized into two types, laboratory and factory.
Laboratory robots are usually driven by stepper motors. These tend to lack power, which is an advantage in terms of safety but a disadvantage in overall reliability and accuracy.
Factory robots are usually driven by synchronous motors. These have the advantages of power and accuracy, but the disadvantage is they must be placed in an
safety enclosure.
