Abstract
In recent years, advanced automation technologies and artificial intelligence (AI) have been applied in a variety of fields to develop autonomous experimental systems capable of conducting experiments in the pursuit of scientific discovery and process optimization. One of these fields is bioproduction, where microorganisms are used to produce valuable materials. The wide variety of experiments carried out in bioproduction requires autonomous experimental systems that are highly versatile and offer both scalability and flexibility. This article describes a modular autonomous experimental system called Autonomous Lab that has been developed to meet this need. The efficacy of Autonomous Lab is also demonstrated in a case study that uses the system to optimize culture conditions.
