Method for setting up an apparatus for biological processes and apparatus for biological processes

A method for setting up an apparatus for biological processes, the apparatus comprising:

• a vessel for accommodating a biological sample, with which a plurality of biological processes can be carried out;
• adjustment means for adjusting process parameters for the biological processes;
• capturing means comprising at least one of an imaging camera or a sensor, with which a process state is automatically capturable for each of the plurality of biological processes;
• and
• a processor which is connected via a first data line to the capturing means and which is connected via a second data line to the adjustment means, and
• the method comprising:
• specifying, by the processor, the process parameters for the plurality of biological processes,
• automatically capturing, by the capturing means, a process state for each of the plurality of biological processes;
• evaluating, by the processor and based on a specified objective forming or derived from an evaluation criterion comprising at least one of a reward function, a cost function, or a penalty function, each automatically captured process state to generate an evaluated process state;
• generating, by the processor and using a machine learning method which learns from evaluations of captured process states, learned set-up parameters based on the evaluated process states, wherein the learned set-up parameters comprise
• (i) learned process parameters, or
• (ii) assignments between captured process states and learned process parameters;
• and
• setting up, by the processor and using the adjustment means, the apparatus based on the generated learned set-up parameters.
