Warp Sciences Teaches Lab Robots by Recording Chemists at Work

Warp Sciences, a new AI company founded by former OpenAI science leader Kevin Weil, is teaching robots to run lab experiments for finding new medicines. Human chemists wear cameras and sensor gloves while working at the bench. The robots learn from those recorded movements and readings, not from instructions written by programmers, TechCrunch reported on October 22, 2026.
