Problem Agitation
The Downstream Bottleneck
“With traditional automation, we can make thousands of protein a week now in the lab easily. But that just shifted the bottleneck from upstream steps, making the protein, to the downstream steps, which is verifying the protein are properly made.”
- On screen
- Week 1 Week 2 HPLC running HPLC idle 0 plates waiting 3 plates waiting The next step needs a human 7 plates waiting Longest wait so far: 63 hours, for a sample that took hours to make

Instrument Incompatibility
“Unfortunately, many of these other instruments, the downstream characterization steps, they use instruments that are not designed for automation.”

6-DoF Arms & Computer Vision
“What we have in the lab are these six degrees of freedom robotic arms, assisted by physical AI computer vision and advanced machine learning model stacks, so that they're able to open and close manual doors of instruments, put a plate into a very tightly clamped position...”

Kinematic Adaptation Diagram
“...recognize the plate's position or tilt so that it adapts to real dynamic environment in the lab accordingly and ultimately be smart enough to execute these very complicated steps which are usually accomplished by human.”

Phase One & Fleet Architecture
“We're very happy to announce the first stage of X-Automate, which we have successfully connected the traditional protein production workcell with a HPLC... The ultimate vision is for these physical AI enabled robots to connect big workcell as well as all of the diverse instruments that we have in the lab, and really close the loop from model to wet lab data generation.”

Enter X-Scientist
“X-Scientist can observe what's happening in the lab, and reason about next steps, and execute its actions through robotic systems. Physical AI alone is only going to be able to tell the robots how to execute the experiment. But when and what to do has to be orchestrated by a agentic AI brain. That is what X-Scientist bring to the table.”
