The goal of WG10 is to enable interoperable, trustworthy, and reusable data flows for autonomous and semi-autonomous (self-driving) materials laboratories by defining practical standards and guidance that connect instruments, robots, decision-making software, and data infrastructure. The WG is explicitly oriented toward tangible, short-term outcomes consistent with MaRDA WG practice. To join WG10 or receive more information, email info ‘at’ marda-alliance.org.
