NIMO: A Software Platform for Closed-Loop Materials Exploration with Diverse AI Algorithms
Ryo Tamura, Naruki Yoshikawa, Koji Tsuda +1
Self-driving laboratories (SDLs), where artificial intelligence proposes subsequent experiments and robotic systems execute them, are rapidly becoming the vanguard of materials dis…
NIMO Controller: a self-driving laboratory orchestrator based on the Model Context Protocol
Naruki Yoshikawa, Ryo Tamura
Self-driving laboratories (SDLs) have attracted increasing attention as a means of accelerating scientific discovery; however, developing SDL software remains technically demanding…
LLM-guided phase diagram construction through high-throughput experimentation
Ryo Tamura, Haruhiko Morito, Yuna Oikawa +7
Constructing phase diagrams for multicomponent alloys requires extensive experimental measurements and is a time-consuming task. Here we investigate whether large language models (…
El Agente Gráfico: A Semantic Execution Runtime for Scientific Agents
Jiaru Bai, Abdulrahman Aldossary, Thomas Swanick +14
Large language models (LLMs) can plan scientific workflows and generate code, but these capabilities do not specify how scientific state is validated, transferred and recorded acro…
RoboCulture: A Robotics Platform for Automated Biological Experimentation
Kevin Angers, Kourosh Darvish, Naruki Yoshikawa +6
Automating biological experimentation remains challenging due to the need for millimeter-scale precision, long and multi-step experiments, and the dynamic nature of living systems.…
Accelerating Discovery in Natural Science Laboratories with AI and Robotics: Perspectives and Challenges from the 2024 IEEE ICRA Workshop, Yokohama, Japan
Andrew I. Cooper, Patrick Courtney, Kourosh Darvish +20
Science laboratory automation enables accelerated discovery in life sciences and materials. However, it requires interdisciplinary collaboration to address challenges such as robus…
