Concerned they lack the manpower to translate the deluge of raw information into results, researchers are programming their mechanical lab assistants to share more of the workload.

Using artificial intelligence, Adam hypothesized that certain genes in baker's yeast code. Working with computers and robots in the lab, scientists have been able to generate exponentially increasing amounts of data as the technology improves. They describe how the bot operates by relating how he carried out one of his tasks, in this jerome to find out more about the genetic makeup of baker's yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, an organism that scientists use to model more complex life systems. This time, for "Adam and Eve" knowledge is not forbidden € it's their mission. Researchers at Aberystwyth University in Wales and England's University of Cambridge report in Science today that they designed Adam € which is 16.4 feet (five meters) in length, with a height and width of 9.8 feet (three meters) € to perform basic biology experiments with minimal human intervention.

A prime example of this is "Adam," an autonomous mini laboratory that uses computers, robotics and lab equipment to conduct scientific experiments, automatically generate hypotheses to explain the resulting data, test these hypotheses, and then interpret the results.
