A new WetLabs Benchmark tackles whether robots are ready to accelerate science labs.
- 9 critical wet-lab tasks, ranging from easy to hard
- 3 leading models each get 20 attempts per task
- Astra leads, though the race is close
A systematic effort to evaluate embodied automation in real research settings; worth following as results and replications accumulate.
