Laboratory Robotics

Laboratory robotics aims to automate scientific experimentation and tasks, accelerating research and discovery across various fields. Current research emphasizes developing AI-driven robotic systems capable of performing complex, dexterous manipulations, often using reinforcement learning and model-free approaches to adapt to real-world variability, including integrating classical control methods to enhance robustness. This automation improves efficiency, reduces human error, and enables experiments previously impossible due to scale or complexity, impacting fields from materials science to drug discovery.
