The Robot Scientists are multidisciplinary research projects involving expertise from Computer Science and Microbiology, and are projects of the Computational Biology research group at the Aberystwyth University. We currently have two Robot Scientists, Adam (investigating yeast functional genomics) and Eve (investigating drug screening). The first Robot Scientist has been an active research project since 1999, and has been funded by the BBSRC. Related work concerning the Machine Learning concepts used by the Robot Scientists were funded by the EPSRC, LIMS work has been funded by the Royal Academy of Engineering and EPSRC, Grid work has been funded by the 1851 Commission, and Fault Detection work funded by the Nuffield Foundation.
These publications are directly related to the Robot Scientist project.
