Title: Compressing the Validation Bottleneck: An Agentic Self-Driving Lab for Scientific Discovery

Abstract:
arXiv:2607.04508v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Agentic AI-for-Science can automate ideation, planning, and analysis, but final validation still depends on real experiments. A self-driving lab (SDL) can execute those experiments, yet the loop still has bottlenecks: the agent may spend too many rounds on low-value experiments, or each round may require a high-cost experiment. We target these two physical bottlenecks with one agent. First, a prior-aware agentic DOE loop uses domain knowledge and p
