Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of laboratory automation and intelligent systems technology, and in particular relates to a method for generating unmanned laboratory solutions and multidimensional failure attribution based on a world model. Background Technology
[0002] Unmanned laboratories utilize robots, automated instruments, and intelligent algorithms to complete experimental processes, improving experimental efficiency and repeatability. Existing unmanned laboratories often focus on automating experimental actions, instrument scheduling, or optimizing single-point parameters, typically lacking a unified expression of experimental objectives, instrument status, environmental conditions, researcher intentions, and failure feedback.
[0003] In materials research and development, biological experiments, chemical experiments, and engineering testing, experimental systems not only need to execute experiments, but also understand experimental objectives, propose candidate solutions, assess risks, verify the reliability of results, and provide explainable suggestions for the next round of adjustments after failures. If the system cannot incorporate the researcher's intentions, the state of the experimental subjects, and the state of the instruments into the same world model, it will be difficult to upgrade from "automatic execution" to "autonomous design."
[0004] The specific shortcomings of the existing solutions include: First, experimental design generation is mostly based on preset templates or univariate searches, lacking the ability to generate systematic designs based on experimental objectives and failing to flexibly switch between hypothesis-driven, analogical reasoning, and exploratory searches. When experimental objectives are complex or the parameter space has high dimensionality, preset templates cannot cover the effective search space.
[0005] Second, the execution process lacks a joint consideration of instrument status, reagent constraints, and environmental conditions, leading to frequent resource conflicts or constraint violations during the execution phase. Experimental protocols may appear feasible during the generation phase, but fail during execution due to unavailable instruments, incompatible reagents, or unmet environmental conditions.
[0006] Third, the verification of experimental results lacks a multi-dimensional assessment of the reliability of the results. It only compares the magnitude of the results with the expected values, without considering instrument accuracy, environmental interference, and statistical significance. When the instrument accuracy is insufficient or there is environmental interference, even if the experiment is performed correctly, the results may still be unreliable.
[0007] Fourth, the lack of systematic attribution after experimental failures makes it impossible to distinguish between hypothesis errors, execution biases, instrument malfunctions, and environmental interference, resulting in unclear directions for improvement in the next round of experiments. Existing methods typically attribute all failures simply to "experimental failure" without analyzing the root causes.
[0008] Fifth, the experimental experience lacks structured accumulation, making it unsuitable for supporting the optimization of subsequent experimental plans and the transfer of knowledge across experiments. The experience gained from each experiment is stored in the form of unstructured logs, which cannot be effectively utilized in subsequent experiments. Summary of the Invention
[0009] The purpose of this invention is to provide a method for generating unmanned laboratory schemes and attributing failures in a multidimensional manner based on a world model.

[0034] Taking the high-entropy alloy hardness optimization experiment as an example, the specific implementation process of the method of the present invention is explained as follows: Implementation of step S1: Construct an experimental world model. Target layer: The research objective is "to increase the hardness to above HV 400 in CoCrFeNi-based high-entropy alloys by adding Al elements"; the scientific hypothesis is "the Al content in the range of 5-15 at.% is positively correlated with hardness"; the expected result is "HV ≥ 400"; the success criterion is "hardness measurement value ≥ 400 HV and repeatability standard deviation < 10 HV".
[0035] The experimental material was a CoCrFeNi-based high-entropy alloy. The sample properties included grain size, phase composition, and density. The reaction kinetic parameters included solidification rate and phase transformation temperature.
[0036] Instrumentation layer: Available instruments include an electric arc melting furnace (available, accuracy ±2℃), a hardness tester (available, accuracy ±5HV), an XRD diffractometer (available), and a SEM microscope (under maintenance, available in 3 days).
[0037] Environmental layer: laboratory temperature 22±1℃, humidity 45±5%, cleanliness level ISO 7.
[0038] Knowledge layer: The domain knowledge graph includes high-entropy alloy phase diagrams and literature data on known Al content-hardness relationships; safety constraints include the maximum temperature limit for arc melting and inert gas protection requirements.
[0039] Researcher intent layer: Researchers prefer conservative allocation strategies, have low risk tolerance, and prioritize safety.
[0040] Implementation of step S2: Hypothesis-driven generation: Based on the hypothesis that "Al content is positively correlated with hardness", a gradient experiment was designed with Al contents of 5, 8, 10, 12 and 15 at.%, and the control variables were melting temperature (1800℃) and cooling rate (10℃ / s).
[0041] Analogical reasoning generation: Retrieve similar experiments (hardness experiments of FeCoNiCrAl system) in the knowledge layer, extract successful solutions (the highest hardness is achieved when the Al content is 12 at.%), and generate analogy solutions.
[0042] Exploratory generation: Based on Bayesian optimization, three exploratory schemes (knowledge gradient acquisition functions) are generated in a two-dimensional parameter space with an Al content of 5-15 at.% and a melting temperature of 1700-1900℃.
[0043] Constraint filtering: SEM microscope is unavailable (under maintenance), filtering schemes requiring SEM characterization; Arc melting temperature limit is 1900℃, filtering schemes exceeding the temperature limit. Six feasible schemes remain after filtering.
[0044] Scheme ranking: Calculate the overall score. Scheme "Al=12 at.%, temperature 1800℃" scored the highest (high information gain, low cost, low risk, and matches the conservative preferences of researchers), and was selected as the implementation scheme.
[0045] Implementation of step S3: Task breakdown: The solution is broken down into 8 atomic operations: batching → mixing → electric arc melting → remelting → casting → cutting → grinding → hardness testing.
[0046] Dependency analysis: The process of batching → mixing → arc melting is time-dependent; arc melting requires the use of inert gas (resource dependency); hardness testing must be performed after grinding is completed (time-dependent).
[0047] Parallel optimization: XRD testing can be performed in parallel with hardness testing (using different instruments), reducing the total execution time by 2 hours.
[0048] Risk assessment: The historical failure rate of the arc melting step is 5% (electrode contamination), and the historical failure rate of the hardness testing step is 2% (uneven sample surface).
[0049] Implementation of step S4: The experiment was conducted. During the arc melting step, the process monitoring detected a temperature deviation of Δ=8℃ in the molten pool (threshold 5℃), triggering an anomaly alarm. This was determined to be temperature sensor drift (anomaly type: instrument deviation, severity: low). The process was paused for 30 seconds to recalibrate the sensor before resuming execution.
[0050] Implementation of step S5: Experimental results: The sample hardness of Al=12 at.% was HV 412±6 (3 replicates).
[0051] Target compliance verification: Δ_goal = |412-400| / 400 = 3%<5% (threshold), the target is deemed to be compliant.
[0052] Hypothesis verification: t_stat = (412-380) / (15 / √3) = 3.7>t_{0.025,2} = 4.303, at the α=0.05 level, we do not reject the null hypothesis (Al content is positively correlated with hardness).
[0053] Confidence assessment: C_inst = 0.95 (hardness tester is well calibrated), C_env = 0.98 (environmentally stable), C_stat = 0.92 (p=0.03), C_repeat = 0.96 (coefficient of variation 1.5%). Overall confidence level: Conf = 0.95.
[0054] Implementation of step S6: The experiment was successful; there's no need to attribute failures. Record the successful experiences.
[0055] Implementation of step S7: Update the experimental world model: add "Al=12 at.%, HV=412" to the knowledge layer; update the Al content-hardness relationship model; update the researcher intent layer (confirming the effectiveness of the conservative strategy).
[0056] Example 2: Attribution of failures in chemical experiments; Taking the experiment of low yield of catalytic reaction as an example, the implementation process of multidimensional failure attribution is explained.
[0057] Experimental objective: To hydrogenate substrate A to product B using a Pd / C catalyst, with an expected yield ≥90%. Actual result: The yield was only 62%.
[0058] Five-dimensional attribution analysis: Hypothesis attribution: (Yield ≥ 90%) Hypothesis attribution confidence level: 0.35. Analysis: The hypothesis "yield ≥ 90% under standard conditions" may not be applicable to the current substrate.
[0059] Execution attribution: Backtracking the execution log revealed that the actual hydrogen flow rate was 80 mL / min (planned 100 mL / min), and ExecDev = 0.20 > θ_exec = 0.10. Execution attribution confidence level: 0.40. Analysis: Insufficient hydrogen flow rate led to incomplete reaction.
[0060] Instrument Attribution: Inspection of the mass flow meter calibration record revealed that the flow meter was last calibrated 3 months ago (the recommended cycle is 1 month), with InstDev = 0.15 < θ_inst = 0.20. Instrument attribution confidence level: 0.10. Analysis: The flow meter may have a deviation, but it has not reached the attribution threshold.
[0061] Environmental attribution: Environmental monitoring data showed that the temperature fluctuated by ±0.5℃ during the experiment (within the normal range), EnvDev = 0.03 < θ_env = 0.10. Confidence level of environmental attribution: 0.05.
[0062] Reagent attribution: A review of the Pd / C catalyst batch records revealed that this batch of catalyst had been opened for more than 30 days (use is recommended within 15 days of opening). Q_reagent = 0.65 < θ_reagent = 0.80. Reagent attribution confidence level: 0.10. Analysis: The catalyst may have been partially deactivated due to exposure to air.
[0063] Attribution analysis: The attribution vector is A = [0.35, 0.40, 0.10, 0.05, 0.10]. The primary attribution is performance attribution (insufficient hydrogen flow, confidence level 0.40), and the secondary attribution is hypothesis attribution (the hypothesis may not apply to the current substrate, confidence level 0.35).
[0064] Recommended adjustments for the next round: (1) Re-test after calibrating the hydrogen mass flow meter; (2) Increase the hydrogen flow rate to 120 mL / min to compensate for possible flow deviations; (3) Replace with a new batch of Pd / C catalyst; (4) If the yield is still below 80%, revise the assumption to "the yield of the substrate is 70-85% under standard conditions".
[0065] Example 3: Environmental attribution in biological experiments; Taking cell culture experiments as an example. Experimental goal: To culture HeLa cells at 37℃ and 5% CO2 for 48 hours, with an expected cell viability of ≥95%. Actual result: The viability was only 78%.
[0066] Attribution analysis revealed that environmental monitoring data showed the CO2 concentration in the incubator decreased to 3.2% (target 5%) between hours 12 and 18 of the experiment, with EnvDev = 0.45 > θ_env = 0.10. The environmental attribution confidence level was 0.75. Further investigation revealed that the CO2 cylinder was depleted during the experiment.
[0067] Recommended adjustments for the next round: (1) Replace the CO2 cylinder and add an automatic switching function for the spare cylinder; (2) Re-execute the experiment; (3) Add a CO2 balance pre-check step to the experimental procedure.
[0068] Therefore, the present invention employs a world model-based unmanned laboratory scheme generation and multidimensional failure attribution method, which has the following beneficial effects: (1) Through the six-layer experimental world model, a unified expression of all experimental elements is realized, enabling the experimental system to have the ability to "understand the experiment"; (2) By flexibly combining three scheme generation strategies (hypothesis-driven, analogical reasoning, and exploratory), a systematic scheme generation was achieved, covering both verification experiments and exploratory experiments. (3) By using constraint filtering and execution process orchestration, ensure the feasibility of the solution during the execution phase and avoid the problem of "design is feasible but execution fails"; (4) Verify the results in four dimensions (target compliance, hypothesis testing, credibility, and consistency) to ensure the reliability of the experimental conclusions; (5) By using five-dimensional failure attribution (hypothesis, execution, instrument, environment, reagent), the causes of failure can be systematically identified, providing clear directions for improvement in the next round of experiments; (6) Through model rewriting and iterative evolution, we can achieve continuous accumulation of experimental knowledge and continuous improvement of experimental capabilities.
