Tsubame Lab Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Koshiro Narazaki; hereinafter referred to as "Tsubame Lab") will release "Tsubame Studio," specialized control software for lab automation, as free open-source software on [Release Date]. "Tsubame Studio" is a lab automation platform software designed to connect and control various devices used in experimental settings, including not only robot arms but also grippers, electric pipettes, transport mechanisms, and measuring instruments. It offers intuitive operation via a browser-based GUI and supports visual programming, Python script execution, and jog operations using smartphones. Users without specialized programming knowledge can automate experimental and operational processes by combining robot arms and peripheral equipment. Furthermore, by integrating with measuring instruments, it supports the construction of automated environments that encompass not only experimental operations but also data acquisition, recording, and analysis. The software will be available on GitHub (`https://github.com/〔organization〕/tsubame-studio`), and anyone can use and modify it free of charge. In addition, development of a desktop app version with simplified installation and initial setup is underway, with a release planned for the near future ([August 2026]). Starting with the open-source version, Tsubame Lab aims to foster an environment where more researchers and developers can engage in lab automation. Background: The Walls of "Connection" and "Operation" Hindering Lab Automation Adoption In research and development settings, interest in lab automation is growing with the aim of improving experimental reproducibility, reducing workload, and streamlining data acquisition. However, several hurdles exist in actually introducing robots and experimental equipment and utilizing them in daily research operations. Many experimental processes are not completed by a robot arm alone. Automation is achieved only when multiple devic
