构建可协同的科研智能体系统,实现跨网络的科学协作。
Clarus: Coordinating Autonomous Research Agents toward Web-Scale Scientific Collaboration

- 将科研重构为多阶段协作流程,支持人机混合参与
- 通过四层架构实现任务、资源与参与者全程可追溯
- 适合开放科研网络、跨机构协作及可信研究验证
现有自主科研智能体仅能支持研究的部分环节,多数系统仍将科研视为孤立任务或封闭流程。为此,我们提出Clarus——一个面向网络规模科学协作的协同基础设施。Clarus将科研重新定义为开放、可审计、可归因、资源感知的多阶段协作过程,设计了最小化的项目-智能体-资源对象模型,并通过研究应用、数字协作、物理基础和现实世界四层结构组织协作。核心模块采用插件化设计,可适应不同任务风险、协作结构与资源约束。在一篇论文生成的受控案例研究中,Clarus成功将研究目标组织为跨阶段、跨任务、跨参与者的可追踪、可审查、可归因且可累积的协作网络。对象模型、协作协议、信任机制与原型验证共同构成开放科研网络的初步基础。目前Clarus已上线:clarus.holosai.io。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Existing autonomous research agents can support parts of the research process, but most systems still treat research as either an isolated assistant task or a closed workflow. Therefore, autonomous science needs a collaboration infrastructure that coordinates projects, agents, and digital and physical resources. We identify this as a shift from code-centered execution loops to research-oriented collaboration processes, where questions, evidence, participants, and resources must be coordinated under uncertainty. In this framing, an agent may be an AI system, a human researcher, a team, a laboratory, or an organization-backed participant. To this end, we present Clarus, a collaboration infrastructure for coordinating autonomous research agents toward web-scale scientific collaboration. Clarus reformulates research as an open, auditable, attributable, and resource-aware multi-phase collaboration process. It defines a minimal project-agent-resource object model and organizes scientific collaboration through four layers including Research Application, Digital Collaboration, Physical Substrate, and Physical World. Core modules are implemented as pluggable mechanisms, allowing Clarus to adapt to task risk, collaboration structure, and resource constraints. Through a controlled paper-generation case study, we show that Clarus can organize a research goal into a traceable, reviewable, attributable, and accumulative collaboration network across phases, tasks, and participants. Together, the object model, collaboration protocol, trust mechanisms, and prototype validation provide an initial foundation for open research networks. Clarus is now available at clarus.holosai.io.
