Are there efforts into building "autonomous laboratories"? Not sure if the idea is practical but it seems like a direction things might go in, where you give an advanced model, or a swarm with a leader, free reign to run experiments day and night.

Yes, I posted a link to a 'lights out laboratory' supplier yesterday.

I'm sure someone is working on it. My point though is that the experimentation has a lot more logistics than checking your work with math.

You've got to procure, use and dispose of a ton of equipment. And it all costs a good amount of money.
