Presents novel AI-driven automation architecture for scientific discovery that could transform experimental research workflows.

AI Summary

Researchers introduce self-building laboratories that autonomously design, configure, and operate experimental setups from high-level scientific goals.

Excerpt

Self-driving laboratories (SDLs) accelerate scientific discovery by automating experimental execution and optimization. AI agents can increasingly propose new experiments, but existing SDLs can only run the procedures they were built for. Adapting them to a new experiment still takes extensive manual engineering, which makes laboratory flexibility the bottleneck for scaling discovery. We introduce the self-building laboratory (SBL), which designs, configures, and operates its own laboratory setu
