“The robot uses laser scanning and touch feedback, rather than a vision system. It can therefore operate in complete darkness, if needed.“ “The robot operated autonomously over eight days, performing 688 experiments within a ten-variable experimental space, driven by a batched Bayesian search algorithm.”
