| Abstract Scope |
The development of complex materials increasingly relies on multimodal characterization to uncover the intricate chemical-structure-property relationships and to guide synthesis accordingly. However, so far most autonomous materials research platforms are limited a narrow set of diagnostic tools, constraining their ability to make informed decisions and generalize across diverse material systems. In this talk, I will present our approach to bridging distributed autonomous experimentation platforms, including both synthesis and characterization, and integrating automated and manual tools. By enabling real-time data exchange and coordinated decision-making across complementary modalities, we introduce a framework for inter-platform collaboration without requiring physical integration. We demonstrate how this coordination enhances the single-modality autonomous research platforms by enabling distributed work collaboratively, ultimately driving more robust innovation and enabling autonomous research across diverse material classes. |
