Merged summary

TL;DR - Chinese robotics company Yuanluo Technology has deployed Monte2 embodied robots in a national research laboratory to autonomously perform multi-step biological experiments. The deployment signals a shift in AI for Science from computational assistance toward closed-loop physical experiment execution.

  • Monte2 robots autonomously handle reagent preparation, liquid dispensing, nucleic-acid preprocessing, cell passaging, and cytotoxicity assays while coordinating multiple instruments.
  • Yuanluo’s object-centric OPN physical-native model combines visual, force, and tactile sensing to support long-horizon workflows, real-time adjustments, and submillimeter manipulation.
  • The laboratory plans to scale to roughly 100 centrally orchestrated robots by the end of 2027 to improve throughput and experimental consistency.
  • Yuanluo also launched the Origin Program to recruit 100 partners for validating autonomous laboratories across biomedicine, materials science, and chemical analysis.
