Overview
Tetsuwan Scientific builds AI-powered laboratory scientists that combine software planning, robotic execution, and natural language interfaces to automate complex experiments. The system lets researchers design, run, and analyze experiments with minimal hands-on work, continuously improving methods based on results. It differs from ordinary lab automation by offering an end-to-end AI-driven workflow that guides the whole research process from hypothesis to insight. The goal is to speed up scientific discovery and tackle global challenges by providing scalable AI-assisted research tools to universities, national labs, and private research institutions.
