Abstract: For the improved autonomous control of a process (2) using an apparatus (1) via setting of at least one action parameter (3) controlling the process (2), it is provided that via a measuring instrument (17), preferably a spectrometer (18) integrated into the apparatus (1), a process response (4), which the process (2) transfers in reaction to an adjustment of the at least one action parameter (3) to its immediate environment, is measured and evaluated in a computer-implemented manner, preferably using an artificial intelligence, and that based on this evaluation, the at least one action parameter (3) is automatically readjusted. This approach is applicable to biological, chemical and physical processes.

Abstract: A method for setting up an apparatus (1) for biological processes (3), in which process parameters are specified for a plurality of biological processes (3) with computer assistance, that for each biological process (3) a process state is automatically captured, that the particular process state is evaluated using a specified objective with computer assistance, and that from the evaluations the apparatus (1) is set up, with computer assistance, through specification of learned set-up parameters. In addition, an apparatus (1) for biological processes (3) is provided with which the proposed method can be carried out in a particularly advantageous manner.
