PUDA: An AI-Native Hardware Harness for Self-Driving Laboratories
Physical Unified Device Architecture (PUDA) is an AI-native hardware harness for self-driving laboratories (SDLs). Rather than building a human-centered graphical user interface (GUI) orchestration layer, PUDA creates a command-line runtime environment that lets agents observe, orient, decide, and act over experiments while hardware execution remains deterministic, atomic, and auditable. Headless by design, devices appear through discoverable command-line interfaces, JSON protocols are routed through a distributed messaging system, and command responses, data products, and reports are preserved as structured records. PUDA organizes protocols, runs, samples, measurements, and command logs ...
