Curie's Jarvis: Autonomous Robotic Chemistry Experiments from Printed Protocols
Overview
This research introduces Curie's Jarvis, a robotic system capable of performing chemistry experiments on a human-style bench using only printed instruction sheets. The system utilizes a Franka Panda arm to read steps from photos of printed protocols, identify containers by reading labels across four camera views without fixed positions or fiducial markers, and adjust manipulation speed based on the object being handled. In testing, the system successfully completed 5 out of 5 runs for one protocol and 4 out of 5 runs for another from a children's chemistry kit with no human intervention, correctly identifying every container in 160 label location attempts.

“system that lets a robot arm carry out a chemistry experiment on a bench set up for people. It reads the steps from a photo of the printed sheet, finds containers on an ordinary bench with no fixed positions or markers, tells identical-looking containers apart by reading their labels in four camera views, locates its target again before every step, and sets how each step is carried out, including its speed, from what”
