原文アブストラクト
Biological experimentation is not reducible to a single optimization problem, but requires decisions at multiple levels of abstraction: translating scientific knowledge into experimental procedures, adapting culture conditions to measured phenotypes and selecting interventions that test biological hypotheses. Automating experimental execution does not, by itself, determine which experiments should be performed next or how they should change in response to biological feedback. Here we introduce BioMARS, a human-in-the-loop multi-agent robotic system that connects knowledge-guided experimental decision-making with robotic execution and biological feedback. At the procedural level, BioMARS generated literature-grounded protocols and traceable action plans, improving expert-reviewed protocol quality scores across four model backends. At the parametric level, BioMARS used image-derived phenotypes from robotic retinal organoid culture to select subsequent experimental conditions, with higher reported scores in later rounds of the three-round experiment. At the intervention level, BioMARS nominated drug-repurposing candidates from biomedical evidence and advanced six candidates to wet-lab testing by researchers. Together, these studies demonstrate feedback-driven robotic biological experimentation within a framework that supports decisions about experimental procedures, culture conditions and biological interventions.
