Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly transforming the landscape of materials science research. Through the integration of robotic systems and programmable instrumentation, laboratories can streamline complex tasks such as synthesis, characterization, and data acquisition. This enhances experimental efficiency while significantly improving reproducibility and consistency. The ability to operate continuously and generate large volumes of data also supports data-driven approaches, including machine learning and high-throughput screening. Acquired data can help researches use AI tools to predict material characteristics, treatment parameters or even discover new materials. As AI-friendly automation technologies advance, they are becoming an essential component of modern materials research infrastructure.
