1. An apparatus for adaptive handling of slides, wherein the apparatus comprises:
at least a robotic arm, wherein the at least a robotic arm comprises at least an effector;
at least an optical device;
at least a computing device, wherein the computing device comprises:
a memory; and
at least a processor communicatively connected to the memory, wherein the memory contains instructions configuring the at least a processor to:
receive a calibration procedure, wherein the calibration procedure is generated using a plurality of waypoints;
control the at least a robotic arm as a function of the calibration procedure, wherein the calibration procedure is configured to cause the robotic arm to pick, using a pick waypoint of the plurality of waypoints, and place, using a place waypoint of the plurality of waypoints, a slide;
receive a plurality of feedback from the at least a robotic arm;
generate, using the plurality of feedback, an adapted pick waypoint;
generate, using the plurality of feedback, an adapted place waypoint.
