"Introducing Automated Serial-Transfer Robots in Evolution Experiments — and the Real Challenges We Faced"
AI Robot-Driven Science Workshop
vol.9
Scheduled for September 3, 2026 (Thu) @ JASIS 2026
The 9th AI Robot-Driven Science Workshop will be held at JASIS 2026, one of Asia's largest exhibitions for analytical and measurement technologies, in September 2026.
The theme for this session is "The Frontier of LabDX with AI and Robots."
We will hold talks and discussions by researchers and corporate representatives on Laboratory Digital Transformation (LabDX), which is closely related to AI Robot-Driven Science.
In conjunction with the workshop, we are also planning a collaborative exhibition in the JASIS LabDX Zone. We invite you to join us for a first-hand look at cutting-edge analysis and measurement technologies.
We look forward to your participation.
