A computable representation of the physical laboratory enables verifiable workflows

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Sep 3, 2026 · UTC

Making science computable requires representations of both scientific knowledge and the physical world in which scientific claims are tested. A computable representation of the physical laboratory is established through typed research objects, capability-bound operations and a compositional workflow algebra. It provides the physical-world counterpart to machine-readable knowledge, expressing workflows as programs over evolving laboratory states with explicit dependencies, decisions, iteration and concurrency. The representation was implemented in a modular agentic robotic laboratory by binding
