Periodic Labs identified a contamination risk from a robotic arm resting above previously mixed materials and plans to redesign the hardware so the arm rests away from those materials.

“Or there can be things pertinent to data quality where,”

“well, the resting position of this robotic arm”

“actually is above the plate of previously mixed things so there's a contamination risk so in our hardware design we're going to redesign it so that the resting position lies away from those things like these are the kind of subtle details that allow us to kind of push the noise floor down for our experimental campaign so basically take these learnings and scale it up”
