The article discusses machines that can devise a hypothesis, conduct experiments to test it, and assess the experimental results without human intervention. Topics include an overview of the development of a robot scientist by the author and colleagues called Adam. According to the author, the purpose for building robot scientists is to gain a better understanding of science, improve scientific productivity, and reduce the cost of human labor. He notes that automation offers the best hope for solving complex scientific problems that require a prohibitive amount of scientists' time. An overview of Adam, which scientists are using to research yeast genes and their function, and the debate on whether or not Adam is a scientist is presented. INSET: How Robots Reason. |
