Forced a collision in our plate imaging robot to demonstrate something more important than automation: safe failure and deterministic recovery.

Autonomy only works if safety is engineered first. Agentic layer coming up.

LLMs don’t actually use tools. They’re stateless: text in, text out. “Tool use” is orchestration — structured text that systems parse and execute in between. #AutonomousLabs #GenesisMission

Excited to share our first fully integrated prototype, safety-compliant robotic plate imaging workcell at ORNL—complete with enclosure, Banner SC10 controller, door interlocks, and protective stop with a uFactory xArm 5.

Excited to demo the first safety control system for our robotic workcell. As labs become more automated, it’s easy for safety to lag - getting it right early has been eye-opening. More to share soon as the COBOT Autonomous Lab continues to develop.

The AI science factory arrives: why Lila’s $1.3bn valuation matters beyond biotech - Biotech Industry Examiner Lila’s Nvidia-backed raise is about more than money. It is an attempt to industrialise discovery—and to sell it as capacity to pharma, chipmakers and energy

Lila Sciences adds $115M (Series A $350M, >$1.3B). Thesis: AI-run robotic labs that sell discovery capacity to biotech, chips & energy. KPIs to watch: utilisation, cycle time, software→factory conversion. Our take👇
