Compressing the Validation Bottleneck: An Agentic Self-Driving Lab for Scientific Discovery
Agentic AI-for-Science can automate ideation, planning, and analysis, but final validation still depends on real experiments. A self-driving lab (SDL) can execute those experiments, yet the loop still has bottlenecks: the agent may spend too many rounds on low-value experiments,…
