High-Throughput Project at the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics, CAS
Replacing human scientists to perform laboratory screening and the precise dosing of various chemical reagents. The “scientists” shuttling flexibly between laboratories are no longer limited to humans; they can also be intelligent AI robots.
Jointly developed with the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics (DICP), CAS, this initiative integrates the latest AI technologies (LLM + RAG) with advanced robotics to create a high-throughput AI intelligent laboratory system. It assists researchers in efficiently conducting scientific studies in fields such as new materials, chemistry, and life sciences/pharmaceuticals. This empowers rapid R&D iteration in domestic research institutes—the “AI Scientist”—while simultaneously driving the industrialized promotion of this technology across various scientific research fields.
Technical Features
Flexible Gripper

Solutions
High-Throughput Experimentation
Utilizes the “AI Chemist” integrated with AMRs, electrolyte preparation workstations, and execution systems to realize a data-driven, advanced intelligent scientist system.
Powder & Liquid Preparation Station
Employs automation technology to execute a series of operations including the automated proportioning, weighing, mixing, and heating of liquids and powders. It can independently complete the entire experimental workflow, from retrieving beakers to liquid preparation, powder proportion weighing, mixing, and heating.
Liquid Mixing Station
Adopts the overall design concept of a mobile, modular, and reconfigurable parallel mechanism, enabling coordinated movement among multiple positioners to achieve flexible posture adjustment for various fuselage sections.
