The AI in charge of the autonomous lab will have full control over the synthesis, characterization, and modeling tools. It will extract prior knowledge from structured databases, publications, and human guidance, do experiments and computations and be able to distill its findings in a succinct mathematical form. Such autonomous laboratories are already being implemented in other areas of materials science142. (Icons used in the figure are from INCORS).
