Merging AI and the physical world, Godwit is building the robotics layer for high-bandwidth scientific discovery.
Their platform combines self-aligning diamagnetic hardware with autonomous robotics, enabling AI systems to design, build, test, and refine physical experiments in closed loop. By increasing the bandwidth of experimentation, Godwit transforms scientific discovery from a human-timescale process into a machine-timescale process.
