Science Aid has started working with Tecan Japan on a project that aims to let researchers control experimental robots using simple natural language instructions. The two companies are developing an AI agent that can understand what a researcher asks for and convert that request into commands a laboratory robot can actually execute.
Interest in using AI within scientific research has been rising quickly in recent years. Tools powered by large language models are already being used for tasks like analyzing research papers, processing data, and even helping design experiments. But in life science research, experiments still sit at the center of the process. No matter how advanced AI becomes, real world testing remains essential.
The goal of this initiative is to connect those two worlds more directly. Researchers would describe an experiment in everyday language, the AI agent would interpret the instructions, translate them into machine commands, and then run the procedure through an experimental robot.

The first phase will focus on connecting AI systems with Tecan’s liquid dispensing robot platform Cavro Omni Flex and verifying basic operational control.
Science Aid, which focuses on AI for Science technologies, plans to build on this work with pharmaceutical companies and academic researchers, while also exploring workshops and training programs that help scientists use AI driven lab automation in real research environments.
