A mobile robotic chemist

Are we entering the age of the alchemist? How much will this robot or similar robots accelerate medical and chemical research and advances?

How much can such robots accelerate evolution from millions of years down to months, weeks, days ...?



"A mechanical lab assistant could accelerate chemistry research.

What’s new: Researchers at the University of Liverpool trained a mobile robot arm to navigate a lab, operate equipment, handle samples, and obtain results far faster than a human scientist. The authors believe their system is the first mobile robot capable of running lab experiments. ... The study discovered chemical formulae that made it easier to separate hydrogen from oxygen in water. More important, it proved that a robot can do such work effectively, speedily, and without interruption. The authors estimate that a human scientist would have taken 1,000 times longer to produce similar results."
