## What is PyLabRobot?

PyLabRobot is a hardware agnostic, pure Python library for lab automation.

Here's a quick example showing how to move 100uL of liquid from well A1 to A2:

```python
from pylabrobot import LiquidHandler
from pylabrobot.liquid_handling.backends import STAR

lh = LiquidHandler(backend=STAR())
lh.setup()
lh.load_layout("layout.json")

lh.pickup_tips(lh.get_resource("tips")["A1:H8"])
lh.aspirate(lh.get_resource("plate")["A1"], volume=100)
lh.dispense(lh.get_resource("plate")["A2"], volume=100)
lh.return_tips()
```
