Abstract
The chemical engineering field stands at a pivotal moment of transformation, driven in part by the convergence of process automation, robotics and artificial intelligence into self-driving laboratories (SDLs) to accelerate scientific discoveries. This Comment explores how process intensification principles can guide the development of SDLs to accelerate innovation while ensuring efficient use of resources across the multiscale chemical domain.
