Kelvin
Control your lab with natural language. Kelvin autonomously plans, executes, and logs your measurements.
Spend less time babysitting parameter sweeps and more time focused on the physics.
Queue up your scans, approve the sequence, and head home. Kelvin executes them in order while strictly adhering to your safety limits. If an anomaly occurs, it automatically returns the sample to a safe state. Wake up to instant alarms or a comprehensive morning summary sent directly to your phone.
Every command sent through Kelvin—whether generated by AI, written in a script, or triggered manually—must pass through Kelvin's safety gate. Any action that pushes the sample harder is verified against your predefined limits and requires human approval. Kelvin operates in tandem with your hardware interlocks, never replacing them.
Every run is recorded in real-time. Kelvin packages all connected instrument settings, the experimental plan, and approval logs into a single, universal HDF5 file—accessible even without the Kelvin application.
Kelvin natively reads your existing code, Python or LabVIEW, and converts your legacy setups into editable scans.
Kelvin automatically detects devices connected via GPIB, USB, LAN, or serial, matching each to its respective driver card. If an instrument is unrecognized, Kelvin's AI can draft a custom driver directly from the manufacturer's manual.
Cards are written from the makers' manuals and aren't yet verified on hardware.
Kelvin automatically catalogs every run by sample, keeping your data perfectly organized. Need a weekly summary? Kelvin generates presentation slides, group meeting reports, and detailed entries for your digital lab notebook in seconds.
A single rig supports the entire research group with individual user logins. Shared team chats, collective lab history, and detailed activity logs keep everyone on the same page. Kelvin securely references team discussions when prompted, but operates in a read-only capacity to keep your chat clean.
Check on active runs from the breakroom, approve next steps from home, or trigger an emergency stop right from your iPhone. Available in beta on TestFlight, the app provides real-time access to your personal runs and requests, with offline alerts delivered via email or ntfy.
Kelvin is currently in early access for experimental quantum and condensed-matter laboratories. Your data is secure and always remains locally on your lab computer.
