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.

Towards Agentic Cloud Engineering: Graph and Loop Engineering with a Zero-Trust Agent Harness

The paper introduces Agentic Cloud Workflow Engineering, a framework that converts natural‑language agentic cloud‑engineering tasks into validated code repositories and verified cloud deployments. It separates graph engineering for long‑horizon workflow progression, loop engineering for bounded diagnosis and recovery, and agent harness engineering for zero‑trust execution. Experiments on Google Cloud show that executions either produce a verified deployment or an auditable terminal failure within bounded recovery limits.

La Agente \'Optima: Towards Agentic Self-Driving Laboratories

La Agente ’Optima is an agentic framework that builds and manages Bayesian optimization campaigns for self‑driving laboratories, separating large language model reasoning from campaign execution. It maintains a persistent optimization state, allowing consistent repetitive loops and auditable decisions, and only returns control to the agent when interpretation or revision is needed. In tests on digital discovery tasks and physical platforms, it corrected measurement failures, improved yields, and recommended formulation changes, outperforming human‑directed campaigns in cost and material usage.

A computable representation of the physical laboratory enables verifiable workflows

The paper introduces a computable representation of the physical laboratory that combines typed research objects, capability‑bound operations, and a compositional workflow algebra. This framework allows scientific workflows to be expressed as programs that track evolving laboratory states, including explicit dependencies, decisions, iteration, and concurrency. Implemented in a modular agentic robotic laboratory, the system binds formal operations to executable Function Skills, generates capability‑relative workflows for diverse scientific goals, and uses stateful simulation to verify operation preconditions and laboratory constraints before execution.
