Long-horizon scientific discovery requires agents to alternate between exploration, disciplined execution, and critical reassessment as evidence changes. Current language models are trained primarily...
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.

Scientific datasets are commonly organized as hierarchical repositories containing heterogeneous and interdependent files, making their inspection, integration, and analysis labor-intensive and reliant on domain expertise. Although large language model (LLM) agents have advanced substantially in planning, reasoning, and tool use, existing research has largely overlooked their ability to interact with real scientific data assets through executable environments.
arXiv:2606. 08405v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: While data-intensive deep reinforcement learning can optimize complex control policies, scientific discovery in physical systems fundamentally requires an interpretable chain of reasoning that connects physical evidence to structured control architectures.
