Developers must overcome strict limits to size, power and model flexibility to enable on-device learning in real time, but new research and new design guidelines may help.

Researchers have a new scientific tool called Polybot, combining the power of artificial intelligence with robotics. Potential applications include speeding up the discovery of wearable biomedical devices, materials for better batteries and more.

Argonne’s Rapid Prototyping Laboratory is helping undergraduate and graduate students prepare for future science careers. Their efforts are paving the way for automating lab work with robotics and AI in autonomous discovery.

Autonomous discovery will change science and scientific careers. Argonne hopes to train the next generation of STEM experts in robotics, artificial intelligence and machine learning during a 2023 summer internship program to support autonomous discovery.
