Research Project: WIN-AIM Flexible Orchestration of Robotics, Guidance, and Experiments for Self-Driving Laboratories (FORGE-SDL)

Goals

The goal of this project is to develop adaptable robots for autonomous science. We believe that such robots will enable autonomous research and development without expensive specialized instruments, democratizing autonomous workflows across science. We are focused initially on applications in materials processing.

Project start date: 9/1/2026.
