WetRobo: coding agents as the interface between foundation models and lab instruments
sherryyangML · x · 2026-09-19
Researcher Sherry Yang highlights WetRobo as a glimpse of coding agents serving as the interface between foundation models and scientific instruments — agents that don't just reason about experiments but physically carry them out and adapt along the way.
The adaptation mechanism is notable: the agent tries an action, observes the result, and modifies its program (adding calibration, grasp checks, perception, or motion logic) before retrying. Adaptation happens in code rather than through model retraining.
