Autonomous Science Agents — Researcher Index

A filterable index of AI systems that act as scientific agents: literature, hypothesis, experiment planning, code/simulation execution, lab automation, analysis, and reporting across STEM. Answer fast: what domain? · in → out? · accessible today? · how autonomous? Updated 2026-06-20. Access tags are best-effort — verify before relying on any system. Rows tagged Paper-only are leads from papers with no confirmed public code. Click a row for detail.
