• A technology has been developed that uses robots rather than humans to evaluate the performance of newly developed catalysts. • By operating 45 times faster than manual work while also improving precision, it is expected to significantly shorten catalyst development timelines. • A research team led by Dr. • Ji Chan Park of the Clean Fuel Research Laboratory at the Korea Institute of Energy Research has developed a system that fully automates complex and repetitive catalyst performance evaluation experiments.
Article Summaries:
- Researchers at the Korea Institute of Energy Research have created a fully automated catalyst‑testing system that employs two coordinated robots to conduct performance evaluations. The robotic setup operates 45 times faster than manual methods, cutting the typical 32‑day testing period to just 17 hours while enhancing precision. Led by Dr. Ji Chan Park of the Clean Fuel Research Laboratory, the team designed the system to handle complex, repetitive experiments that previously required extensive human labor. The development promises to accelerate catalyst design cycles and reduce development timelines for clean‑fuel technologies.
