BioProVLA-Agent: An Affordable, Protocol-Driven, Vision-Enhanced VLA-Enabled Embodied Multi-Agent System with Closed-Loop-Capable Reasoning for Biological Laboratory Manipulation

BioProVLA-Agent is an affordable system for robotic biological lab work that uses Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models to manipulate wet lab tasks based on experimental protocols. It combines a protocol parsing agent, a visual verification agent, and an embodied execution agent in a closed loop. A key innovation is AugSmolVLA, which makes the robot robust against common visual laboratory problems like reflections and poor lighting.
