ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS USING THE ANALYTICAL DIRECTOR AN ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE/ROBOTIC SYSTEM

Abstract

The goal of the Analytical Director project is to build a system that can design, test, modify and implement its own analytical procedures. The Analytical Director is a combination of commercial robotic and other laboratory equipment with computer based artificial intelligence. Using a prototype system, it is now possible to design an entire analytical procedure in a high level language working from an icon driven windowed display and have the robot laboratory execute that procedure without human assistance or intervention.
