LabGuard: Grounding Natural-Language Laboratory Rules into Runtime Guards for Embodied Laboratory Agents

arXiv:2606.31045v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Scientific embodied agents are increasingly capable of carrying out laboratory procedures, but executing these procedures safely in dynamic laboratory environments remains challenging. Current safety approaches often overlook the intermediate step of transforming laboratory natural language, including safety rules, manuals, protocols, and standard operating procedures, into machine-checkable runtime constraints. We introduce LabGuard (Laboratory Gu...
