Anthropic unveils new framework allowing AI agents to operate physical devices

Anthropic on Thursday rolled out a research preview of “Model Hardware Standard”, a framework for AI agents to operate physical devices in scientific research and ‌advanced manufacturing.

The ⁠MHS ⁠enables AI agents to operate lab ​and manufacturing instruments such as microscopes and robotic ​arms in tandem and perform complex tasks, ranging from routine drug ​discovery experiments to ⁠laser calibration ‌on a quantum computer, ​Anthropic ​said.
