I have done research works on them both, but I found it is not easy to intergrate robotics into material science. Please discuss your ideas below. Thanks.
Dear Dr. Chunxu Li ,
a report entitled "Materials Acceleration Platform: Accelerating Advanced Energy Materials Discovery by Integrating High-Throughput Methods with Artificial Intelligence” published by the Expert Workshop in Mexico City in early 2018, shows the results of a 2017 workshop in which 55 leading scientists from around the globe discussed the challenges and research needs that relate to the development of new materials.
In the report, the authors demand the use of artificial intelligence and robotics to accelerate the development of material science and discovery. These include the use of autonomous laboratories which are able to design and perform experiments automatically before accurately interpreting the results.
n addition to this, there are 6 recommendations that have been made which are thought to lead to these so-called materials acceleration platforms. These recommendations call for the industry to integrate robotics with rapid synthesis and characterization of material.
The six recommendations agreed upon by the workshop are:
1) "Self-driving laboratories" to automatically design, complete and interpret the results of experiments
2) Further research and development of specific forms of AI to be used for materials discovery
3)The development of modular building blocks and modular materials robotics platforms for synthesis and characterization
4) Research into automated computational methods for inverse design
5) New methodologies to reduce the length of time need for materials simulation
6) Further research and development of data infrastructure and interchange platforms

I suggest you to have also a look at the following note by Canadian Institute for Advanced Research:
Integration of AI and robotics with materials sciences will lead to new clean energy technology (2018)

It is interesting topic and really need further attention. It is a bit discussed on Quora as https://www.quora.com/How-is-Material-Science-Engineering-related-to-Robotics.

There is very prospective field - Materials for 3d printing... There are different size and applications for that (from numan borns-implants up to building) with different and specific requests to materials (technological and constructional) corresponding to the purpse and equipment.
