Autonomous mobile robots for exploratory synthetic chemistry.

ABSTRACT: Autonomous laboratories can accelerate discoveries in chemical synthesis, but this requires automated measurements coupled with reliable decision-making^1,2. Most autonomous laboratories involve bespoke automated equipment^3-6, and reaction outcomes are often assessed using a single, hard-wired characterization technique⁷. Any decision-making algorithms⁸ must then operate using this narrow range of characterization data^9,10. By contrast, manual experiments tend to draw on a wider range of instruments to characterize reaction products, and decisions are rarely taken based on one measurement alone. Here we show that a synthesis laboratory can be integrated into an autonomous laboratory by using mobile robots^11-13 that operate eq
