Your new lab partner: A mobile robot chemist

Great, now chemical weapons can be produced without having to fear death as a person.

As long as human labor is cheaper than the maintenance and cost of this, humans will not be replaced. In the end, what makes or breaks the inclusion of this tech of all about how much profit the big boss can make.

wath is the name of the robot?

Lol it’s so weird hearing foreigners talk about social distancing like it’s a big deal. Here in the American west it’s bussiness as usual just wear a mask. Why so serious

Hanzhen harmonic drive gear , gear reducer, robot gear , over 30 years experience

Because the job market isn't fucking STEM graduates hard enough.

very interesting information, but just why so much and so often, in this video, it was necessary to show a person's physiognomy?

How about specifically making the lab layout for the robot so it doesn't have to interfere with humans all the time.
Thus it gets way more productive then human layered workspaces.

We will finally have time to read those articles stored in the misc folder.

This is awesome, definitely has the potential to speed up breakthroughs in chemistry if used properly

But does it engage in lab banter and generate hilarious chemistry memes? Until that happens, I'll stick with my wonderful team of humans :P

The poor thing's name means "trashbin" in hungarian. KUKA. LoL.

Impressive use of robots.
This type of human + robot team will make impressive result happen for our civilization.
We can be happy about that.

Those of you who have never been in a lab might be amused by this, but the images in this video show the robot doing absolutely nothing. Also, a robot with just one arm couldn't work on a lab for a number of reasons.

I don't doubt at some point robots will replace us at labs but this particular one can't replace anyone.

What a good Robot!

great now I need another 4 years of grad school to keep a job as a senior scientist...

Waiting for an affordable housekeeper model now. :)

Give this technology 5 years and it would substitute most of organic/medicinal chemistry PhD students.

Where is John Connor and Sarah Connor??????

This is actually the 3rd robotic chemistry laboratory that I know of, the other two are: Chemputer, ChemOS

That hair tho

Whats the difference between a robot and the people that accepts a job like this?

Hey guys no dislikes

Can it sterilize itself when working in sterile environments? Cause I imagine that these robots would be useful for handling dangerous microbes in place of researchers

I knew this tech was coming, so much so that my sci-fi stories have its scientists operating robots in the lab instead of working in the lab themselves

Reminds me of an earthly mars rover

Because lab techs might as well be robots?
You'll never get a "hmm, that's strange" from automation...

Omg I am goona lost my job in the future, panic..............

Every time i watch or read something like this, namely, AI technology, I remember from Yuval Noah Harari Book's Homo Deus and how what he's been saying since 2016 is happening right away!!!

Cool but how good is its banter algorithm?????
