Compression Demos
Predictive and Generative Modeling of Mixed Dimensional Aerogels with Programmable Properties
A UR5e robotic arm loads aerogel samples into an Instron Series 6000 Universal Testing System to perform compression testing.
Depending on the number of cycles run, and the percent compression required by the user, compression testing can take anywhere from 5-15 minutes to complete per sample. This redundant manual task of loading samples and beginning the test was a prime task to implement an autonomous solution. Saving the human-labor of researchers, allowing them to perform much more critical and conceptually rigorous tasks.

Machine intelligence accelerated design of conductive MXene aerogels with programmable properties.
This platform enabled the unsupervised testing of samples in batches. Saving manual human-labor, and increasing the experimental throughput of our lab.
