Anthropic unveils new framework allowing AI agents to operate physical devices
The standard, Anthropic said, works on any device that has a programmable interface and allows devices and agents to communicate across networks
On Thursday, Anthropic introduced a research preview of "Model Hardware Standard" (MHS), a framework enabling AI agents to operate physical devices in scientific research and advanced manufacturing settings. MHS allows AI agents to control lab and manufacturing instruments like microscopes and robotic arms, executing complex tasks ranging from routine drug discovery experiments to laser calibration on quantum computers.
By combining agentic AI with lab and manufacturing hardware, Anthropic aims to help researchers and engineers carry out autonomous, 24/7 workflows with minimal human intervention, thus speeding up processes. The standard works on any device possessing a programmable interface, facilitating communication between devices and agents across networks.
Anthropic is sharing an early version of MHS with partners to assist in safety evaluations before making it open source.
