About Tetsuwan:Tetsuwan Scientific is an SF-based, early-stage company working on combining the abilities of artificial intelligence with the physical agency of laboratory robotics to develop wet-lab AI scientists and help drive groundbreaking life science research. Read more about our work here or here.Tetsuwan is a melting pot of highly-driven engineers from wildly different backgrounds. We’ve worked on engineering synthetic organisms and electric race cars at Caltech, built self-driving underwater robots at NASA & MIT, worked on generalized cooking robots, and have developed lab automation systems at academic and industry labs. What brings us together is the belief that working towards autonomous systems for scientific discovery is the most important thing we could possibly do, and that now is the time to do so.Tetsuwan has raised a $2.7M oversubscribed round to support a technical timeline that has already seen its first deployment (to a rare disease gene therapeutics lab) and will see several more within the next year.
