Tetsuwan Scientific: Building Robotic AI Scientists to Revolutionize Research

Imagine a future where scientific research is no longer constrained by human limitations. A future where repetitive tasks, tedious experiments, and even the formulation of hypotheses are automated by intelligent machines. This vision is driving Tetsuwan Scientific, a company pioneering the development of robotic AI scientists that can independently conduct research. The Inspiration: The journey of Tetsuwan Scientific began at a Halloween party in 2023, where co-founders Cristian Ponce and Théo Schäfer, hailing from diverse backgrounds in bioengineering, robotics, and space exploration, bonded over a shared frustration: the laborious and time-consuming nature of traditional laboratory work. Ponce, with his experience in genetic engineering, vividly described the tedium of manual pipetting, a crucial yet repetitive task in many biological experiments. Schäfer, with his expertise in autonomous systems, recognized the limitations of existing robotic solutions, which often required specialize…
