Adam has reached novel scientific conclusions single-handedly in a british laboratory, but Adam is a robot, developed by researchers at Universities Aberystwyth and Cambridge. What’s special with Adam is that he carries out the whole scientific experimentation cycle just as a scientist: It develops hypotheses, devises experiments, physically carries them out and continuously interprets the results and repeats the cycle.
