Autonomous Creation of Soft Materials Through Robotic Assembly

The RPL introduced a compact, fully automated robotic system designed for the precise assembly of small liquid/gel chambers with advanced robotics at its core. This system automates the entire process, from sample preparation to data collection, for X-ray and neutron scattering experiments. Featuring transparent polycarbonate windows and a metallic body for temperature control, it minimizes human interference, improving reliability, particularly for delicate biological samples. Its seamless integration into experimental stations like synchrotrons and X-ray free electron lasers enables efficient, automated sample exchange during beamtime, while AI-driven data analysis ensures a fully autonomous workflow. This robotic platform revolutionizes soft material discovery and biomaterial development through advanced automation and robotics.
