The goal of the ATLeS project is to create an inexpensive, open-source system for automated, high-throughput, realtime observation and conditioning experiments. Zebrafish, danio rerio, are the target organism for the initial design.
ATLeS consists of one or more ATLeS boxes, each of which can run an automated experiment on a single organism at a time, and a separate server that provides a combined interface for managing and controlling all of the boxes and their experiments in one place. Each box uses an inexpensive Raspberry Pi as its "brain," an infrared-sensitive camera as its "eyes," and inexpensive materials for the structure. A central server can connect to boxes over a network (ethernet or wifi) to control and manage them via a web interface. The server software is written in Python, and it runs under Linux, OS X, or Windows.

ATLeS was created by Mark Liffiton and Brad Sheese at Illinois Wesleyan University.
