Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Robotic scientists will 'speed up discovery'
Scientists are no exception from social
distancing and remote working. So, when they can’t work at their labs, how do
they do experiments? The answer is robots and AI.
Robots can work 24/7 without a break or face
mask. Also, thanks to AI, they do not only what they are programmed to do but
also what they’ve learned from their work. Such robo-scientists are expected to
play important roles to help human scientists spend more time on research and
innovation. This is especially valuable when many lab scientists are kept away
from their workplaces to avoid Covid-19 infection. Indeed, robots have been
used in hazardous conditions for some time, such as space and toxic
environment. Also, scientists are hoping to connect lab-robots across the world
and run them by a centralized command center to conduct larger-scale
experiments faster.
Will lab-robots join international Zoom conferences
soon to report the results of their experiment?
Enjoy reading the article and think when robots
will join your work team.
