Stuntman

The only native AI-driven, fundamentally flexible automation platform for materials & energy

Tag in AI-driven automation for materials and energy research

Stuntman pairs built-in AI with fully modular hardware to power through materials and energy research. Run smarter experiments for new discoveries - from electrolytes, polymers and catalysts to coatings and hydrothermal synthesis using real-time sampling, integrated analytics, and AI-driven experiment design. Get brochure.

  • Battery & electrolyte development: Design and run electrolyte or formulation variations side by side to see how composition and conditions affect performance.
  • Polymer synthesis & optimization: Explore polymer structures and reaction parameters across multiple runs and compare outcomes and advance synthesis faster.
  • Catalyst synthesis & screening: Generate and test catalyst candidates in parallel so you can spot promising candidates sooner with less manual effort.
  • Hydrothermal synthesis: Automate high-temperature and high-pressure setups to run hydrothermal reactions safely and consistently across many conditions.
  • Coatings development: Prepare and test coating and film formulations under controlled conditions so you can evaluate adhesion, coverage, and behavior more efficiently.

Up the ante with AI

Built and tested on Stuntman, our AI turns your natural-language prompts into executable scripts that can drive closed-loop automation from start to finish. It helps plan and organize experiments, interpret results, and guide how things progress — you just tell it what you want to achieve. Generate entire workflows through AI, an intuitive drag-and-drop interface or dive into Python with full API access. Every condition, step, and data point is logged in open, structured formats for effortless sharing and analysis.

Diagram showing the Stuntman AI-driven automation workflow: design experiments using AI, drag-and-drop, or Python scripts; execute experiments automatically; analyze results with AI interpretation in a continuous closed loop.

Do stunts your way

Stuntman’s fully adaptable, so you can build your deck around your materials workflow. Crank through battery slurries and electrolytes with viscous liquid handling and conductivity checks. Push polymerization with high-T/high-P reactors and gas injection. Drop in modules for coatings, catalyst prep or porous materials synthesis. Pick and choose what suits your science and expand as you go. With built-in AI support, spot every stunt and tune your experiments for peak performance.

Charge up energy storage

Whether you’re working with lithium-ion blends, polymer electrolytes, or redox flow systems, Stuntman’s here for it. Formulate, mix, and screen at high throughput to turn months of work into days. Keep your energy storage breakthroughs charging ahead with integrated characterization — from solubility to electrochemical performance, or whatever fits your flow.

Handle harsh conditions

Stuntman’s made to take the extreme heat, pressure, and reactive gases that come with polymer chemistry — so you can hand off the glovebox gymnastics. High-T/high-P OSR reactors push up to 48 conditions in parallel, each with independent temperature, pressure, and built-in gas or liquid feeds. Tune catalysts, map conditions, or build catalyst reactivity libraries without slowing down the show.

Prep catalysts like a pro

Stuntman muscles through catalyst prep — weighing supports, adding precursors, tracking pH, and keeping every mix uniform. Run impregnation with precise dosing and vertical-shaker mixing, or drive co-precipitation with multi-liquid feeds, tight pH control, automated aging, and cleanup. Whether you’re optimizing supported metals or exploring new oxides, you’ll get rock-solid prep every time.

Rev up hydrothermal reactions

Stuntman automates precise dosing and gel prep, high-T/high-P runs in DSPR or OSR reactors, and particle recovery with on-deck centrifugation — so you can scale up hydrothermal work without losing momentum. Turn your hydrothermal synthesis one-offs into high throughput discovery for zeolites, nanoparticles, catalysts or other materials you’re chasing.

Stick film formulation

Stuntman keeps film formation consistent, clean, and on cue. Start with tiny test films and have optimized coatings in a matter of weeks then lock in performance with controlled drying and curing. Measure what matters — thickness, gloss, color, tack, friction, wear or electrochemical response. No matter if it’s inks, paints, functional films or battery materials, Stuntman makes coatings you can trust.

Dose it right and seal it tight

Stuntman’s automated powder dispense and liquid handling hit the mark with accurate and reproducible dosing of powders, high viscosity materials, and sticky slurries. Automated capping keeps every vial sealed for heat and pressure or for whatever’s next.

Bring in the crew

With Stuntman, integrations and add-ons are endless so your science never hits a wall. Drop in modules for filtration, dilution, evaporation, reaction work-ups or hook it up to third party systems for prep, processing or analysis. Whatever the trick, Stuntman’s built to play well with others.
