On-Demand Video: The Robots are Taking Over! Don’t Do More AI. Do More With AI

Next-Generation Automation Built for Real Transformation

Labs are under pressure to move faster, generate more data, and integrate AI into everyday workflows. However, many are still constrained by fragmented automation systems and legacy frameworks that slow progress and make scaling difficult.

In this SLAS Boston 2026 Solutions Spotlight, Jesse Mayer, Principal Field Application Scientist at Automata, explores what it takes to move beyond patchwork automation and build a lab designed for AI-driven experimentation.

In this presentation, you’ll learn:

  • Why fragmented automation stacks limit the impact of AI in the lab
  • What defines an AI-native lab architecture
  • How unified orchestration and modern data infrastructure unlock scalable automation
  • The role of adaptive intelligence in enabling more connected scientific workflows
  • How next-generation automation can support the demands of modern R&D

After watching the presentation, you’ll have a clearer understanding of what it takes to move beyond legacy automation and build a lab ready for AI-driven discovery.
