AI research robots key to ‘democratizing and revolutionizing science’, world-class AFRL researcher says

The 2023-24 Stitt Scholar Program student cohort is pictured on the University of Dayton, or UD, campus in Dayton, Ohio, Oct. 9, 2023. UD Stitt Scholars, all of whom are multidisciplinary undergraduate students based in UD’s School of Engineering, School of Business Administration or College of Arts and Sciences, complete a paid internship experience spanning one full academic year that is typically tied to a local technology-based or -enabled entrepreneurial effort. This year, three of the Stitt Scholars selected the rollout of Educational ARES OS software, hardware and curriculum solutions into local schools for free or low-cost as their internship focus.

Dr. Benji Maruyama, internationally acclaimed senior materials research engineer for the Air Force Research Laboratory, or AFRL, and Materials Research Society fellow, adjusts the ARES open-source software-enabled system in its early development stages in his lab in 2017. The autonomous research system, developed by Maruyama and his AFRL team, used artificial intelligence to design, execute and analyze experiments at a faster pace than traditional scientific research methods. Maruyama and his team rolled out ARES open-source software in 2021 to overwhelmingly positive acclaim. It is currently available to the public as a free internet download. Now, Maruyama is seeking community stakeholders who will partner with him and his team to help integrate ARES into local schools for free or at extremely low cost to inspire the next generation of scientists and researchers.
