Self-Building Labs
Self-driving laboratories (SDLs) accelerate scientific discovery by automating experimental execution and optimization.
ProofPaper ↗
Key points
- AI agents can increasingly propose new experiments, but existing SDLs can only run the procedures they were built for.
- We introduce the self-building laboratory (SBL), which designs, configures, and operates its own laboratory setup given a high-level scientific goal.
- We demonstrate the system working across different robots and setups, scaling from a single workstation to laboratories with several robots working together.
- We validate SBL's end-to-end capabilities through a real-world quantum-dot synthesis experiment.
