Warp Science Asks Human Chemists to Train Robots
· New York time
A former OpenAI science lead has launched Warp Science to automate wet labs with robots, TechCrunch reported. Human chemists will wear cameras and sensor gloves to train the machines to perform laboratory tasks. The plan depends on learning from people doing the work. It is a startup's proposed approach, not proof that a fully automated laboratory has already replaced its human staff. The arrangement gives automation a refreshingly visible apprenticeship. Before the robots can become capable lab assistants, the chemists must demonstrate the tasks while wearing additional equipment. The future of less manual work apparently begins with humans having slightly more to put on.
