Japan, known for its automation industry, is actively contributing to this field. This perspective introduces Japan's efforts in SDL development, including diverse applications across materials science, biology, chemistry, and software. In addition, it covers national funding programs, research communities, and Japanese industries supporting progress in this field. It also highlights the importance of education, standardization, and benchmarking for the future growth of SDL research. description_type: abstract lang: und ## Creator - name: Naruki Yoshikawa role: author orcid: https://orcid.org/0000-0003-1546-8709 - name: Yuki Asano role: author orcid: https://orcid.org/0000-0003-2115-1417 - name: Don N.
