AEGIS: Assay-Aware Protocol Validation and Runtime Monitoring for Open-Source Liquid Handling Robots

Read the original on arXiv AI →

arXiv:2607. 15620v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Self-driving laboratories increasingly rely on low-cost liquid handlers such as the Opentrons OT-2, which ship without the pressure-based aspiration monitoring of Hamilton or Tecan systems and are typically run open-loop.

An Executable Benchmarking Suite for Tool-Using Agents

arXiv:2605. 11030v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Closed-loop tool-using agents are increasingly evaluated in executable web, code, and micro-task environments, but benchmark reports often conflate workloads, action-generating drivers, and the evidence admitted for systems-facing claims.

A Self-Evolving Agentic System for Automated Generation and Execution of Biological Protocols

arXiv:2606. 31763v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Autonomous wet-lab experimentation requires more than plausible protocol text: biological intent, quantitative procedures, device constraints and experimental feedback must remain aligned from protocol and SOP design to code and physical execution.

PentestChain: A Cost-Aware, MCP-Orchestrated Framework for Automated Penetration Testing with Free-Tier LLMs

PentestChain is a ten‑phase automated penetration testing framework that uses a cost‑aware AI cascade, starting with a local 7B‑parameter Ollama model (qwen2.5‑7b) and then free‑tier OpenRouter and Cerebras models, with a rule‑based fallback. It exposes the entire pipeline through a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that includes eleven tools. The authors evaluate the framework using standard testbeds (AutoPenBench, Cybench subset, PentestGPT 182‑sub‑task benchmark) and report that the local model keeps paid‑API cost at zero while detecting 26 services and enriching 34 CVEs on legacy targets.
