In this talk, I will introduce the development of a robotic automation system for chemical experiments utilizing teaching devices and imitation learning. This system promotes the automation of experiments by allowing experimenters to perform tasks using a robot gripper-type teaching device, with the robot subsequently replicating those tasks. Imitation learning enables the robot to adjust its actions in response to environmental changes and uncertainties using visual and tactile sensor data combined with motion data. Preliminary experimental results of pipette insertion and cap insertion into vials will be presented, discussing the system's effectiveness and future prospects.
