A Grassroots Network and Community Roadmap for Interconnected Autonomous Science Laboratories for Accelerated Discovery

Scientific discovery is being revolutionized by AI and autonomous systems, yet current autonomous laboratories remain isolated islands unable to collaborate across institutions. We present the Autonomous Interconnected Science Lab Ecosystem (AISLE), a grassroots network transforming fragmented capabilities into a unified system that shorten the path from ideation to innovation to impact and accelerates discovery from decades to months. AISLE addresses five critical dimensions: (1) cross-institutional equipment orchestration, (2) intelligent data management with FAIR compliance, (3) AI-agent driven orchestration grounded in scientific principles, (4) interoperable agent communication interfaces, and (5) AI/ML-integrated scientific education. By connecting autonomous agents across institutional boundaries, autonomous science can unlock research spaces inaccessible to traditional approaches while democratizing cutting-edge technologies. This paradigm shift toward collaborative autonomous science promises breakthroughs in sustainable energy, materials development, and public health.

Federated Battery Diagnosis and Prognosis

Battery diagnosis, prognosis and health management models play a critical role in the integration of battery systems in energy and mobility fields. However, large-scale deployment of these models is hindered by a myriad of challenges centered around data ownership, privacy, communication, and processing. State-of-the-art battery diagnosis and prognosis methods require centralized collection of data, which further aggravates these challenges. Here we propose a federated battery prognosis model, which distributes the processing of battery standard current-voltage-time-usage data in a privacy-preserving manner. Instead of exchanging raw standard current-voltage-time-usage data, our model communicates only the model parameters, thus reducing communication load and preserving data confidentiality. The proposed model offers a paradigm shift in battery health management through privacy-preserving distributed methods for battery data processing and remaining lifetime prediction.
