Position: Intelligent Science Laboratory Requires the Integration of Cognitive and Embodied AI

  • 提出多层闭环框架,融合科学推理与物理实验机器人
  • 实现从假设生成到自动验证的全流程自主研究
  • 适合希望突破科研效率瓶颈的研究团队

科学发现长期受限于人类的专业能力、身体极限和睡眠周期。近年来,人工智能科学家与自动化实验室的发展加速了研究的认知与操作环节。然而关键局限仍存:AI系统常局限于虚拟环境,而自动化实验室缺乏灵活性与自主性来在真实世界中动态验证新假设。近期具身智能进展,如通用机器人基础模型、基于扩散的动作策略、细粒度操作学习及仿真到现实的迁移技术,彰显了认知与具身智能融合的潜力。这一融合开启了闭环系统,支持迭代式自主实验与意外发现的可能。本文提出‘智能科学实验室’(ISL)范式:一个深度融合认知与具身智能的多层次闭环框架。ISL统一科学推理的基础模型、基于代理的工作流编排,以及具备鲁棒物理实验能力的具身代理。我们认为此类系统是突破当前科研瓶颈、实现人工智能驱动科学变革的关键。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Scientific discovery has long been constrained by human limitations in expertise, physical capability, and sleep cycles. The recent rise of AI scientists and automated laboratories has accelerated both the cognitive and operational aspects of research. However, key limitations persist: AI systems are often confined to virtual environments, while automated laboratories lack the flexibility and autonomy to adaptively test new hypotheses in the physical world. Recent advances in embodied AI, such as generalist robot foundation models, diffusion-based action policies, fine-grained manipulation learning, and sim-to-real transfer, highlight the promise of integrating cognitive and embodied intelligence. This convergence opens the door to closed-loop systems that support iterative, autonomous experimentation and the possibility of serendipitous discovery. In this position paper, we propose the paradigm of Intelligent Science Laboratories (ISLs): a multi-layered, closed-loop framework that deeply integrates cognitive and embodied intelligence. ISLs unify foundation models for scientific reasoning, agent-based workflow orchestration, and embodied agents for robust physical experimentation. We argue that such systems are essential for overcoming the current limitations of scientific discovery and for realizing the full transformative potential of AI-driven science.
