Anthropic has launched the Model Hardware Standard (MHS), a new way for AI systems like Claude to control robots and lab equipment using a single interface. MHS provides a standard method for AI agents to communicate with various lab and factory devices, instead of using different programming interfaces. It uses common drivers to handle device commands, properties, and safety limits. In the past, bringing different instruments into a lab or factory took a lot of time. MHS simplifies this by using easy read/write drivers and reference files that outline device features and safety guidelines. AI agents can connect to devices through command-line interfaces or custom code, helping them manage tasks and adapt based on experimental results. According to Anthropic, early projects have shown that integration times have dropped significantly, going from weeks to just hours or even minutes. 📰 @aipost
