$ whelix run protocols/passage.py

Validate every protocol before a tip moves.

Every Whelix workcell ships with a physics-accurate digital twin. Run the protocol in sim, see timing, collisions, and reagent draw, and only commit the run that survives.

  • Submillisecond joint-state sim · 30 fps stream
  • Reagent + tip-rack consumption forecast per step
  • Collision & deck-bounds checking before approval
