Anthropic introduced an interface to make it easier for AI agents to operate machines in the real world, as part of the AI lab’s continued foray into physical AI.
The generative AI vendor unveiled a preview of the Model Hardware Standard (MHS) last week, with initial deployments set for scientific research and advanced manufacturing tools, including microscopes, robotic arms and other lab equipment.
Anthropic developed the standard as part of a collaboration with private biomedical research institute HHMI.
