# Zeon Systems

> Zeon Systems builds AI-powered robotic infrastructure that automates scientific laboratory experiments. Founded in 2025 by Brontë Kolar and Tahir D'Mello - both Forbes 30 Under 30 honorees who previously worked together at Latch Bio - the company uses off-the-shelf robotic arms paired with depth cameras and a natural language interface to let scientists describe experiments in plain English and have robots execute them autonomously. Already piloting at Stanford and UCSF, Zeon targets the multi-billion-dollar lab automation market by lowering the cost and complexity of scientific research - betting that cheaper automation means more experiments, and more experiments mean faster cures.
