In the latter part of the 1990s, many companies have worked to foster a ‘matrix’ style culture through several changes in organizational structure. This type of culture facilitates communication and development of new technology across organizational and global boundaries. At Glaxo Wellcome, this matrix culture is reflected in an automation strategy that relies on both centralized and decentralized resources. The Group Development Operations Information Systems Robotics Team is a centralized resource providing development, support, integration, and training in laboratory automation across businesses in the Development organization. The matrix culture still presents challenges with respect to communication and managing the development of technology. A current challenge for our team is to go beyond our recognized role as a technology resource and actually to influence automation strategies across the global Development organization. We shall provide an overview of our role as a centralized resource, our team strategy, examples of current and past successes and failures, and future directions.

The use of algorithms is a necessary activity for the design and construction, of any mobile robot. This study proposes an algorithm for future farm applications. Fertilization is an aspect that represents a third of the production costs. Robotics applied to agriculture, although in Mexico it is in the early stages of its development, the productive greenhouses are progressively automatized. Therefore, it is necessary to propose new automation strategies in the sector. As part of a stage of design and modeling of a virtual robot, this project proposes an algorithm of a 3D virtual robot prototype that allows visualizing and positioning in the 2D plane and thus having preliminary simulations for the subsequent construction of the Robot prototype.
