One of the essences of AI technology is the automation of intellectual labor. One of the extremes of intellectual labor is natural science research as well as artistic and creative activities. Actually, in the field of advanced scientific research, the rapid spread of information technology and robotics including AI is progressing, and the future image of the progress of scientific research itself being greatly accelerated by AI is coming soon.
In this course, students will learn how AI connected to experimental robots can discover new knowledge through repetitive experiments and hands-on exercises. Using a liquid handling robot that can be controlled using the Python programming language as a course material, students will experience the physicality of robots and how scientific experiments can be automated by robots by running the robot with programs written by the students and by performing the same experiments with their own bodies. In this course, students will learn about the physicality of robots and how scientific experiments can be automated by robots.
