Kevin Yager, leader of the electronic nanomaterials group at the Center for Functional Nanomaterials (CFN), has developed a chatbot with knowledge in the kinds of science he’s been engaged in. This chatbot is based on a document-retrieval method and is knowledgeable in areas of nanomaterial science that other bots are not. At CFN, there has been a lot of work on AI/ML that can help drive experiments through the use of automation, controls, robotics, and analysis. This chatbot can help quickly document, understand, and convey information about an experiment, which can help in a number of ways.
