ProtoAct: Turning Wet-Lab Protocols into Embodied Robotic Actions
Zhe Liu, Jiaming Gu, Zhaohui Du +7
Biological wet-lab protocols are written for trained researchers and often leave routine operations, state-dependent conditions, and contextual parameters implicit, making them dif…
BioVLN: A Simulation Platform for Visual Language Navigation in Biomedical Laboratories
Zhe Liu, Quan Lu, Zhaohui Du +7
Biomedical laboratory robots must navigate to instruments before performing experimental procedures. Existing embodied navigation platforms are designed for household environments…
Pipette: An Embodied Simulation Platform, Benchmark, and Data-Efficient Augmentation Framework for Wet-Lab Robotics
Zhe Liu, Huanbo Jin, Zhaohui Du +10
Wet-lab robots can improve the reproducibility, throughput, and safety of biomedical experiments, but scaling their learning requires customizable simulators for safe and reproduci…
BioProVLA-Agent: An Affordable, Protocol-Driven, Vision-Enhanced VLA-Enabled Embodied Multi-Agent System with Closed-Loop-Capable Reasoning for Biological Laboratory Manipulation
Zhaohui Du, Zhe Wang, Dongzhan Zhou +9
Biological laboratory automation can reduce repetitive manual work and improve reproducibility, but reliable embodied execution in wet-lab environments remains challenging. Protoco…
