WetRobo: A Reproducible Robot Kit for Coding Agents in Biological Laboratories
Automating biological research requires general-purpose, reproducible robot systems that allow individual wet-lab researchers to delegate robot tasks without performing teleoperation or neural-network training. Vision-language-action policies have been proposed for general-purpose arms, but can lose performance when their operating environment changes. We therefore built WetRobo, a robot kit that can readily transfer between laboratories. It consists of one robot arm, laboratory equipment (an incubator, a reagent bottle with a cap, and a Petri dish), the existing code that moves the arm, teleoperation demonstrations of each task that we recorded, and a general AGENTS.md skill file. A biol...
