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.
By integrating agentic AI capabilities with lab and manufacturing hardware, the Claude chatbot maker aims to help researchers and engineers execute autonomous, round-the-clock workflows with minimal human intervention, helping speed up processes.
The standard, Anthropic said, works on any device that has a programmable interface and allows devices and agents to communicate across networks.
