Hypothesis-Driven Autonomous Materials Synthesis with Multimodal LLM Agents

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Sep 16, 2026 · UTC

Self-driving laboratories can explore synthesis conditions autonomously, but their decision-making layer is typically a black-box optimizer, and the output is a set of optimized samples, with the measurements reduced to predefined scalar objectives and the reasons behind success left unarticulated. Here we present SynAgent, a framework in which large language model agents operate an automated experimental system and maintain an explicit, revisable understanding of the synthesis process as the campaign's primary output. Starting with no predefined analysis pipeline, SynAgent adaptively generate
