Low-cost, open-source robotic system could make self-driving labs more accessible to students and researchers

why we do it

Materials have the potential transform our lives and our world for the better.

HOw we do it

We build self-driving labs (SDLs) that use AI and automation to create materials and molecules for a fraction of the usual time and cost, while remaining committed to ethical design principles.
