Together, under a single agent, these components aim to accelerate the SDL loop by reducing both the number of loops and the cost per experiment.
Abstract
Agentic AI-for-Science can automate ideation, planning, and analysis, but final validation still depends on real experiments. A self-driving lab (SDL) can execute those experiments, yet the loop still has bottlenecks: the agent may spend too many rounds on low-value experiments, or each round may require a high-cost experiment. We target these two physical bottlenecks with one agent. First, a prior-aware agentic DOE loop uses domain knowledge and past results to propose feasible and informative next experiments, reducing trials-to-target. Second, a cost-aware surrogate agent predicts high-cost, high-resolution measurements from low-cost, low-resolution measurements. It chooses between a high- and a low-cost measurement based on the predicted uncertainty. We examine these directions in the biology and materials domains, respectively. Together, under a single agent, these components aim to accelerate the SDL loop by reducing both the number of loops and the cost per experiment.
Automating data science on large-scale projects has become a problem of engineering loops rather than tuning models by hand. This paper takes a design stance on that problem and presents LEAP, a loop-engineered agentic pipeline in which an orchestrator agent coordinates stage agents through three feedback loops: a fast...

A new diffusion method for multi-agent planning with STL specifications is introduced, making the approach generalizable to novel formulas whose predicates are placed anywhere within the goal region covered during training, while achieving the same scalability as existing learning-based methods.

This paper proposes World Model RL (WMRL), which replaces environment execution with a world model to remove this bottleneck and accelerates training by 3-4x on various tasks at different agent scales, while exceeding the performance of standard RL baselines.
