Common questions

What is LINQ?
Automata's LINQ is a benchtop lab-automation platform combining a robotic arm and a modular instrument deck with its own GUI, linking liquid handlers, analyzers, and other instruments to automate complete laboratory workflows.
How much does LINQ cost?
LINQ's price is not publicly disclosed. DEPLOY has no verified price on record for LINQ from Automata. Physical-AI systems like this are often sold through enterprise contracts or operated as a service rather than at a public list price; check the manufacturer for the latest.
Is LINQ actually deployed in the real world?
LINQ is at the research stage: it exists, but DEPLOY has no verified real-world deployment on record. Manufacturer capability claims should be read as claims pending independent verification.
Who makes LINQ?
LINQ is made by Automata, based in London, UK.
Can you buy LINQ?
LINQ is at research stage and is not yet available for sale.
What are alternatives to LINQ?
On the DEPLOY registry, comparable manipulator robots to LINQ include Reach Bravo 7, Mech, RightPick 4, Robotiq 2F-85.
How does LINQ compare to Reach Bravo 7?
LINQ and Reach Bravo 7 (Reach Robotics · 2 deployments) are both manipulator robots on the DEPLOY registry. LINQ has 0 verified deployments on record. Compare both records for specs, safety, deployments, and verified-vs-claimed autonomy.
Is LINQ a top manipulator?
On DEPLOY's intelligence score, which blends verified deployments, safety, adoption, media, and IP signals, LINQ ranks in roughly the top 65% of manipulator models tracked by the registry.
What is LINQ's maturity stage?
LINQ is at the research stage on the DEPLOY maturity ladder (research, prototype, pilot, commercial, production). Research stage means active development without commercial deployments on file.
Where is LINQ deployed?
No verified deployments of LINQ are currently on the DEPLOY registry. DEPLOY records deployments only when verified at a named site with a primary source; absence may reflect pre-deployment, research, or manufacturer-internal use.
Is LINQ safe?
LINQ has no incidents on record in the DEPLOY registry. This does not constitute a safety guarantee; it reflects the incidents DEPLOY has tracked and verified to date.
