A Seeker short documentary on a lab where robots run experiments with almost no human intervention, covering automation and active machine learning in drug discovery and synthetic biology.
HN cites it as an example of automated cloud labs and AI already running physical experiments.

The fun thing is that there are approaches that want to go beyond this kind of methodological description of a scientific process to code [0, 1]. In general I would say that the more we can remove the human aspect and inherent ambiguity of science, the better for reproducibility. See [2] for a couple of examples.
