This is not just another machine in the lab: it’s a new superpowered team member

it frees up time for the human researchers to think creatively
Definitely good news for all except lab technicians.  Time was you could get kudos (and money) for skill and repeatability.

Despite the fact that the best dishwasher totally fails the Turing test, I'd say it qualifies as a robot. I'm easy that way, since I think my thermostat qualifies as one.

Despite the future is bright for robotics but to operate robots engineers must be needed.

But engineers are a lot less fussy, paid less and more easily replaceable.

Who says Engineers should be Humans?
🤔

Imagine a...
 ' Automated Manufacturing Unit ' producing an ' Automated Car ' serviced by a ' Automated Garage '.
Add an ' Automated Chauffer & Automated Valet ' as Accessories.

Automated Plumbers, Miners, Doctors, Engineers, Scientists, Chefs, Cops, Lawyers, Judges, SportsStars, RockStars, Architects, Actors, News Reporters, Journalists, Armies, Presidents...
& EveryThing Et al.

Now What's Next?
🤔

P.S. -

 " Humans " to make it a more rightfully gender equal statement.

Now What's Next?
Automated (or at least not requiring human thought or intervention)

Philospher: "You think you know what you are talking about but how do you know you think?"

Priest: "Not in this world but the next."

Politician; "Here is the answer to the question you should have asked."

Economist: "The model is correct, reality is at fault."

I'm incredibly impressed, here I was thinking that AI still had a long way to go and now they have robots thinking in '10 dimensions'? I would like to lend some of them, is that possible?

Thinking about the future is essential for almost all organizations and societies. States, corporations, universities, cities, NGOs and individuals believe they cannot miss the future. But what exactly is the future? It remains a mystery
