Robot Chemist - China

Robot Xiaolai performs an experiment at the state key laboratory of precision and intelligent chemistry of the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) in Hefei, east China's Anhui Province, November 24, 2025. Traditional chemical research has long relied on continuous trial and error by scientists. With the development of artificial intelligence and robotic automation technologies, it has become possible to design experiments and issue instructions through intelligent platforms, using robots to replace human labor in experiential operations, which enhances experimental efficiency and precision. In 2021, after eight years of dedicated effort by a research team from USTC, Xiaolai, the first-generation "robot chemist," was successfully developed. After several years of iterations, the second-generation dual-armed humanoid robot Xiaolin has been put into operation, capable of performing more complex tasks. It has evolved from a substitute of human labor to a "research partner." According to Zhu Zhuoy
