There are several compelling reasons to employ robotic platforms in catalysis:
1. High Throughput: Robotic systems can rapidly perform multiple experiments simultaneously, accelerating the discovery and optimization of new catalysts. 2. Precision and Accuracy: Robots reduce human error, ensuring more consistent and reproducible results. 3. Data Management: Automated systems can integrate with data analytics and machine learning tools to manage and analyze vast amounts of experimental data efficiently. 4. Safety: Robots can handle hazardous materials and extreme conditions, reducing risks to human researchers.
