By using self repair features of the fractal robot, additional possibilities are introduced. High risk experiments that result in explosion prone chemicals or very corrosive chemicals can be experimented upon at a distance by the automation. Any damaged equipment can be removed through shuffling cubes to affect self repair. Likewise, because there is some distance between the chemist and his materials, it is possible to perform high risk biological experiments with these machines too. A biohazard certified machine will be a very different machine to a simple automatic chemistry set because much greater precautions have to taken against an organism escaping into the environment.
Fractal robots make the entire process safer by automating the tasks and reducing human error.
When problems do arise, the self repair can instigate safe removal of contaminated sub-systems without allowing human contact with the experiment. Subsequently all equipment can sterilise itself from the biohazard by dismantling itself and walking itself into a high pressure steam oven. The automatic chemistry machine will not have AI systems built in, but it can later be added to optimise experiments through parameters supplied into the machine that can be sensed in a feedback loop. Providing the system is set up correctly, it will be able to manufacture new compounds and analyse it to create new knowledge by performing experiments and gathering empirical data about those experiments. The automatic chemistry set is the precursor to the manufacture of the fractal universal assembler which when built will enhance the chemistry sub-system of the Genesis Device .
