a, Overview of the synthetic route for used for parallel synthesis. The coloured chemical structures were produced successfully, whereas the greyed-out structures were not, according to the rules of the decision-maker. b, Heuristic decision-maker logic for screening, scale-up replication and diversification steps. The timeline (bottom) shows tasks performed by humans in black boxes and tasks performed by the autonomous platform in green boxes. See Supplementary Information section 2, for reaction conditions. KUKA refers to the mobile robots.
