Two self-driving lab examples in Japan. One was published in very early phase of SDL and the other is one of the latest example.

@Yujikaiya, thanks for the contribution!

It's great to see SDLs applied to Li-O2 and other battery systems (I used to work with Li-O2 batteries). I found a picture of the hardware in the SI of DOI: 10.1038/s41598-019-42766-x (Fig S2), which helped me to get a better idea of the setup. Is there any human intervention during the experimental campaign?

For example, was there any human intervention during the campaign that generated the data shown in Fig 5 of DOI: 10.1038/10.48550/arXiv.2304.13927?

I checked with the author. Everything is automatic except for the mother solution preparation and plate setting. This tweet shows how the system works! (Both software and hardware) https://twitter.com/kojitsuda/status/1652198799627153408

@Yujikaiya great, thanks for checking! By plate setting, do you mean a one-time task prior to starting the experimental campaign?

[Yujikaiya]

Yes, plate setting is only a one-time task prior to starting the experimental campaign.

@Yujikaiya great! Just merged :) Thanks again!
