COLLECTION // ACTIVE
A working collection for the software boundary between agents and machines: MHS, MCP, vendor drivers, and competing full-stack robotics platforms.
BRIEFINGS
Anthropic's MHS research preview is not a robot and not a new model. It is a shared interface so agents can discover, describe, and operate programmable devices — with the hard problems still sitting in safety, spatial reasoning, and who writes the drivers.
SIGNALS
A shared driver spec for agents to operate programmable lab and factory devices, starting with a closed partner group.
Ars Technica describes MHS as standardized drivers so agents can talk to arbitrary devices without a custom translator for each instrument.
Business reporting adds competitive context — OpenAI and Amazon hardware spend, Anthropic's silicon hiring — around a still-closed research preview.
Anthropic names LeRobot as an early adopter for the next phase of device coverage.
Another named hardware adopter in the Anthropic preview post, after successful Camera MHS Driver tests.
A partner result from the preview post — specific, quantitative, and still vendor-mediated.
ATTACHED
This is not a complete map of physical AI. It is the interface-layer slice that currently has sourced coverage.
