Chemometrics innovation is now occurring in the field of analytical sciences using an intelligent robot toward laboratory automation. The development activity is depended on the advancement of intelligent robot manipulator in place of the traditional manual procedure of discrete sampling and followed chemical analysis. The system was composed of a Mitsubishi Denki, model RV-M1, robot manipulator, an NEC, model PC9801, personal computer for process control, commercial analytical instruments, and common experimental apparatus improved for the automated procedures. The robotics system could be applied to the automation of chemical oxygen demand (COD) measurement with high precision, reproducibility and reliability, and was found useful for preventing the time-consuming batch chemical/biochemical analyses for purpose of industrial process control and water quality monitoring.
