UChicago and Argonne receive $20m grant for AI-powered robotic laboratories

Robotics lab

The AI-powered autonomous lab Polybot, located at Argonne National Laboratory, is one of five labs across Argonne and UChicago that will run remote experiments from researchers across the nation as part of the Polymer Laboratory for AI, Robotics, Informatics, and Standards (PoLARIS). PoLARIS will be created through a $20 million National Science Foundation grant.
