en.Wedoany.com Reported - CIC energiGUNE, a research institution in the Basque Country, Spain, has launched an advanced platform named Maitena that integrates artificial intelligence, robotics, and automated data analysis, aiming to accelerate the discovery and development of new materials for energy applications.

Launched in Vitoria-Gasteiz, the platform aims to transform the way inorganic materials are researched by automating key processes such as the synthesis, characterization, and analysis of electroactive materials, thereby significantly shortening the development cycle and reducing costs for new solutions. Maitena integrates machine learning and active learning tools to optimize experimental design and guide the exploration of new chemical families more efficiently. The platform also introduces robotic modules and automated laboratory techniques, such as X-ray diffraction and electrochemical analysis, enabling faster and more reproducible experimental results. According to the research team, this combination of digital and experimental capabilities represents a paradigm shift in materials science, allowing for more agile decision-making and better utilization of laboratory resources.

Although the platform was initially designed for development needs in the battery and energy storage sectors, its application scope can be extended to other fields such as advanced electronics or the chemical industry. CIC energiGUNE notes that Europe needs to accelerate its technological innovation capabilities, and tools like Maitena help connect research, digitalization, and industry, thereby enhancing scientific and industrial competitiveness.
