From Prompts to Protocols: An AI Agent for Laboratory Automation

Automating science laboratories enables faster, safer, more accurate, and more reproducible execution of protocols, accelerating the discovery and testing of new materials, drugs, and more. However, setting up and running autonomous labs requires coordinating numerous instruments and robots, forcing scientists to write code, manage configuration files, and navigate complex software infrastructure. We present an AI agent architecture that integrates large language models with laboratory orchestration, enabling scientists to interactively create and monitor automated lab protocols using natural language. Integrated into the Experiment Orchestration System (EOS), the AI agent operates under ...
