Lee Cronin and his team created a so-called Chemputer, which refers to a concept that combines chemistry with computer science, specifically using automated systems and software to synthesize chemicals and materials (Figure ). A chemputer essentially automates the chemical synthesis process, enabling researchers to produce compounds quickly and precisely by following digital protocols. Cronin also coined chemputation.

Figure . The Robochem from the Noël group features continuous flow.
