UK researchers have created a "Robot Scientist" which, they believe, is the first robot to "discover new knowledge" using the scientific method. The robot, named Adam (of course), posed an original hypothesis about a strain of baker's yeast, devised and executed an experiment to test that hypothesis, and interpreted the results.
The work (written up by the human scientists, not the robot one) is published this week in Science.
Creepy or not creepy?
