Tool-Policy Co-Design for Powder Weighing in Laboratory Automation

Nikola Radulov, Xin Yang, Kevin S. Luck, Gabriella Pizzuto
From the abstract

Autonomous powder weighing is one of many bottlenecks in laboratory automation due to the complex, non-linear dynamics of heterogeneous materials. Robot chemists performing this task utilise standard tools shaped for the dexterity of human hands, whose fixed geometry sets the dynamics that the control policy needs to regulate.
