# Lab automation sits on the frontier–robotics seam

## Silicon TL;DR

1. Name the assay, the robot cell, and the model role.
2. Link out; keep the wire digest short and bilingual.
3. Safety and biosecurity remain out of scope for reprint.
4. Cross-link robotics when embodiment is the lead fact.

Frontier science increasingly ships with an agent in the loop. This channel records the public, checkable edge of that shift.
