HEURISTICS FOR LAB ROBOTICS, AND WHERE ITS FUTURE MAY GO

Summary from the TLDR newsletter

The technology will enable different experiments at a scale that would be impossible without automation. It will become rational to start doing the things that everyone already knows they should be doing but can't currently justify.
