The paper introduces a self‑evolving scientific agent that uses large language models and iterative code generation to build interpretable, physically‑reasoned white‑box controllers for complex systems. The agent deploys candidate controllers in simulations, diagnoses dynamic behavior from multimodal evidence, and refines source code until a robust policy is achieved. Applied to a nonlinear fluid‑structure interaction problem—a two‑joint dogfish swimmer navigating an unsteady wake—the agent autonomously designs a controller that consistently reaches targets across a wide range of conditions without retraining.

The paper proposes a hybrid PID–Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) controller for industrial processes, addressing the limitations of traditional PID controllers in complex, non‑linear, multi‑input environments. Using the Industrial Benchmark (IB) to test DRL, the authors develop a multi‑objective reward function and employ a TD3 agent to discover optimal settings for the IB’s ‘Gain’ and ‘Shift’ parameters. These parameters are then fed into a tuned PID controller, yielding a system that combines the optimal performance and efficiency of DRL with the reliability of classical control.
