  "term": "Robot",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "An automated, programmable machine capable of carrying out a complex series of actions autonomously or semi-autonomously. In biomolecular screening, robots are used to perform repetitive tasks such as liquid handling, plate manipulation, and sample preparation. This automation significantly increases throughput and reproducibility in high-volume laboratory operations.",
