Agent-Operated Self-Driving Laboratories

AI agents that directly command laboratory robotics and assay hardware, closing the design–build–test–learn loop so computational candidates are synthesised, measured and refined physically without human intervention at each step.

Google Research reports an agentic system that controls liquid-handling lab robots directly, closing the loop between computational protein design and physical testing. Agents propose candidate binders, run the wet-lab assays, read results and iterate. The team says the cycle produced protein binders with single-digit nanomolar affinity against cancer-related targets.
