Connecting intelligent lab systems: automation in clean energy research

To meet urgent climate goals, clean energy research must evolve. Integrating AI, automation, real-time data capture, and predictive maintenance, laboratories are transforming into intelligent, connected ecosystems accelerating materials discovery. Case studies from GC-MAC initiatives, autonomous perovskite exploration, and catalyst discovery platforms show tangible progress. However, challenges such as scaling, durability assessment, and data standardization remain. In this session, I will try to explore how connected architectures and AI-driven optimization could improve laboratory workflows, enabling faster, more reliable innovation in clean energy technologies. Connected intelligence is no longer an option; it is a foundation for energy labs.
