Danaher Beacon | Danaher and C12.ai to Develop an AI Robotics Laboratory
Danaher and C12.ai will combine scientific research platforms with embodied AI to develop a laboratory linking experimental design, execution, data analysis, and iterative optimization. It is the first Danaher Beacon research collaboration with a Chinese embodied AI company.
In an article published on September 20, 2026, Danaher detailed its collaboration with C12.ai, announced in Shenzhen on September 19. The partners plan to develop an AI robotics laboratory—the first Danaher Beacon research collaboration with a Chinese embodied AI company.
The project will combine Danaher's research platforms with C12.ai's embodied AI technology to connect experimental design, execution, data analysis, and iterative optimization. Its goals include improving research efficiency and shortening development cycles for innovative biologic medicines.
According to Danaher, the approach aims to let robots work with existing laboratory instruments and make decisions from experimental data, reducing the need for extensive infrastructure changes.
