Automated experimentation has the potential to revolutionize scientific discovery, but its effectiveness depends on well-defined optimization targets.
Multi-Objective Bayesian Optimization (MOBO) is applied to balance multiple, competing rewards in autonomous experimentation.
Using scanning probe microscopy (SPM) imaging, MOBO optimizes imaging parameters to enhance measurement quality, reproducibility, and efficiency.
MOBO offers a natural framework for human-in-the-loop decision-making, enabling researchers to fine-tune experimental trade-offs based on domain expertise.
