About Research Centre for Materials Intelligent Manufacturing

The Research Centre for Materials Intelligent Manufacturing (RCMIM) is dedicated to revolutionizing traditional material R&D through cutting-edge interdisciplinary research of material intelligence by artificial intelligence and robotics. The overarching framework includes large language models guided rational design (‘Extraction’), robotics-enabled controllable synthesis (‘Execution’), a domain-specific model facilitated learning and generating (‘Evolution’) and embodied intelligence powered autonomous cycles of Extraction-Execution-Evolution, to accelerate the creation of novel materials （energy materials, civil engineering materials，semiconducting material, superconducting materials, etc. with foucing on formulas and parameters）

“To achieve Material Intelligence, we begin with the power of Artificial Intelligence—harnessing its ability to learn and generate complex material formulas and synthesis parameters. From the cyber world to the physical world, Machine Intelligence evolves into Embodied Intelligence through the convergence of Artificial Intelligence and robotics, endowing Material Intelligence with unique capabilities for autonomous high-throughput synthesis and in situ characterization. Ultimately, our goal is to achieve code to materials via Materials Intelligent Manufacturing.” – Professor Haitao ZHAO
