AILA (Artificially Intelligent Lab Assistant) Latest News

IIT Delhi researchers recently developed an AI- Agent AILA- Artificially Intelligent Lab Assistant.

About AILA (Artificially Intelligent Lab Assistant)

• It is an AI agent which can independently run complex scientific experiments, analyse results, and make decisions in real time.
• It was developed by IIT Delhi researchers in collaboration with scientists from Denmark and Germany.
• Unlike earlier AI tools that mainly helped with writing or data analysis, AILA works directly with laboratory instruments. 
• It can operate real scientific equipment, particularly the Atomic Force Microscope (AFM), one of the most delicate and complex instruments used to study materials at the nanoscale.
  • The agent has helped reduce the time taken to optimize high-resolution AFM imaging from 24 hours to 7–10 minutes.
• When AILA is instructed to perform an experiment, it writes the necessary code, operates the scientific instrument, collects data, and analyses the results on its own. 
• The entire scientific workflow, data generation, processing, and interpretation, is automated through AILA.
• It performs experiments much like a trained scientist.
