ProtoAct: Turning Wet-Lab Protocols into Embodied Robotic Actions
Biological wet-lab protocols are written for trained researchers and often leave routine operations, state-dependent conditions, and contextual parameters implicit, making them difficult to translate into robot-executable actions. We present ProtoAct, a structured protocol-grounding framework that converts free-form biological procedures into state-aware, embodiment-ready action sequences. ProtoAct uses ProtoRAG to retrieve manually annotated examples for context-sensitive parsing, employs RefineChecker to detect and revise missing or inconsistent steps, and applies ActSchema to map the refined procedure into constrained JSON function sequences. We further introduce BioP2E, for which we m...
