Mission, and Team
Our Story
As pioneers of Self-Driving Labs®, Atinary’s founders, Dr. Hermann Tribukait and Dr. Loïc Roch, coined the term in 2017 following their leadership of a global innovation initiative on accelerating materials discovery for leading scientists. This collaboration produced the foundational roadmap that pioneered the “closed-loop” integration of AI and robotics into autonomous systems that think and learn independently.
Our Vision
Our vision is to unlock limitless science and accelerate the transition to a healthier, more sustainable future. We are reimagining the laboratory to dissolve traditional bottlenecks, enabling scientists to focus their expertise where it matters most: pure innovation.
Our Mission
Our mission is to build intelligent solutions for science that integrate AI and robotics with human expertise – we call it Self-Driving Labs® – in order to accelerate the development of molecules and materials among millions of possibilities.

Behind the Name
The name Atinary comes from the Spanish verb atinar, which means hit, as in hit the target. Our leading ML technology can hit targets ten to a thousand times faster than standard methods used in industry and academia, such as Design of Experiments (DoE) and High-throughput Experimentation (HTE). In addition, our ML algorithms outperform competing ML algorithms.
Meet our Team
With 13 nationalities represented, our multidisciplinary team of innovators includes software engineers, developers, data scientists, AI and machine learning experts, chemists, biochemists, and business leaders.
Our Founders
Our founders have worked together since 2017 developing the Self-Driving Labs® technology.
