Definition
The term, in context
AI-assisted draft · approved dataset
A Self-Driving Laboratory pairs robotic experiment handling with machine-learning models that propose which material or chemical formulation to test next, forming a closed loop that designs, runs, and interprets experiments with minimal human intervention; the second-generation SDL 2.0 architecture extends this loop with tighter integration between the AI planner and the automated hardware to compress discovery cycles further.
