Materials Discovery with AI with Andy Cooper |Late Night Conference With Wilhelm Huck 3x06

What does a robot chemist look like? Well… like a robot. In our last episode of the season, we are joined by Andy Cooper, Professor of the University of Liverpool, to discuss how building intelligent robots can lead to materials discovery! Professor Cooper’s team has brought to life every chemist’s dream: a tireless, precise, and resilient lab partner!

The lab’s research focuses on synthesizing materials with novel functions, and on developing methods for controlling material structure at the atomic level. By utilizing the mobile robot chemist to carry out experiments, the discovery of materials can be greatly accelerated. Don’t worry though, the robot’s purpose is to augment scientist’s ability to do research, not to replace them (yet). The third season will conclude on July 11th. Don’t miss it!
