Cover Story: Artificial intelligence (AI) approaches continue to spread in almost every branch of research and technology. Accelerating the discovery of new functional materials in chemical self-driving laboratories is essential because of the experience of previous experimenters. Self-driving laboratories help automate and intellectualize processes involved in discovering nanomaterials with required parameters that are difficult to transfer to AI-driven systems straightforwardly. In this case, the most appropriate way to implement is by creating and customizing a specific adaptive digital-centric automated laboratory with a data fusion approach that can reproduce the behavior of a real experimenter. A novel data-centric research strategy has been proposed for the autonomous self-driving laboratory. View this paper
