Literature-to-Robot Chemputation

This project connects chemical literature, language models, XDL, and robotic synthesis. The goal is not just to extract text from papers, but to turn procedures into executable, checkable instructions for automated chemistry.

Workflow

The central design principle is verification. A language model can help parse and translate experimental procedures, but the output has to be constrained by a chemical execution language and tested against available hardware before anything reaches the robot.

Research Direction

This is a practical route toward self-driving laboratories that can use the published literature as a starting point while remaining grounded in executable chemistry.
