Self-Building Labs: An automated system that builds and runs laboratories according to scientific goals

The authors propose the self-building laboratory (SBL) system, which can design, configure, and operate laboratory setups based on high-level scientific goals. Starting from an empty room or an existing self-driving laboratory, it fills in the laboratory layout, digital twin, robot skills, and experimental workflows. The system was demonstrated on a variety of robots and setups, and can scale from a single workstation to a laboratory with multiple robots working together. Its end-to-end capabilities were validated through a real-world quantum-dot synthesis experiment. The authors say this shifts the role of human researchers from manually configuring and programming device automation to specifying scientific goals.
