{"slug": "ivoryos-orchestrate-an-autonomous-lab", "title": "IvoryOS – Orchestrate an Autonomous Lab", "summary": "IvoryOS launched as open-source orchestration software that discovers lab instruments already present in a user's Python environment and unifies workflows and autonomous runs in a single interface. The project supports 350+ instruments read from community open-source packages, offers a visual drag-and-drop protocol builder with Ax, BayBE, and NIMO optimizers, and generates setup code that runs the same workflow on real hardware. IvoryOS states its interface requires no registry, decorators, or interface code, and updates automatically when instruments are added or swapped.", "body_md": "[Open source](https://github.com/ivoryos-ai/IvoryOS)\n\n# Orchestrate an\n\n autonomous lab\n\n in minutes.\n\nIvoryOS is open-source orchestration software. It discovers your instruments and brings workflows and autonomous runs into one interface.\n\n## How it works\n\n### Instant setup. The interface keeps up.\n\nIvoryOS reads the instruments already in your Python. Add one, or swap one for different hardware, and the controls update with it.\n\nTwo instruments in the namespace.\n\n#### Less code to manage\n\nNo registry, no decorators, no interface code.\n\n#### Hand off without retraining\n\nChanges ship without an onboarding session.\n\n#### One interface, every platform\n\nLearn it once. The next setup is familiar.\n\n### From idea to experiment in minutes.\n\nDesign a workflow, run it, and trace every result back to the step that produced it. IvoryOS generates all of it automatically, straight from your drivers.\n\n### Build protocols visually\n\nDrag and drop instrument actions onto a canvas to construct multi-step workflows. Add logic, loops, and conditions without writing any orchestration code.\n\n#### Shaped like an experiment\n\nPrep, main, cleanup, with iteration built in.\n\n#### Optimizers you can watch run\n\nAx, BayBE, NIMO, or your own.\n\n#### Custom plugins\n\nYour own visualizations and control panels.\n\n#### Networked instruments\n\nCoordinate whole labs across the network.\n\n## Why IvoryOS?\n\n### Set up in minutes. No training session.\n\n#### Without IvoryOS\n\nA UI of your own to build, and to rebuild every time the hardware changes.\n\nSomeone has to sit with them and walk through a one-off interface.\n\n## Automation Hub\n\n### Your whole setup, before anything is installed.\n\n### Select from open source\n\n350+ instruments, read straight out of the open-source packages the community already publishes. Not there yet? Ask for it and we will add the driver.\n\n[Browse instruments](https://ivoryos.ai/hub/devices)\n\n### Design the workflow\n\nBuild against real driver signatures. No installation required.\n\n[Open the Designer](https://ivoryos.ai/designer)\n\n### One click to local setup\n\nDownload the generated setup and run the same workflow on real hardware.\n\n### Build with the IvoryOS community\n\nSetup help, shared integrations, and an open-source project you can contribute to.", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/ivoryos-orchestrate-an-autonomous-lab", "canonical_source": "https://ivoryos.ai/", "published_at": "2026-09-21 15:39:00+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-09-21 15:53:45.956071+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["ai-tools", "developer-tools", "ai-agents"], "entities": ["IvoryOS", "Ax", "BayBE", "NIMO", "Python"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/ivoryos-orchestrate-an-autonomous-lab", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/ivoryos-orchestrate-an-autonomous-lab.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/ivoryos-orchestrate-an-autonomous-lab.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/ivoryos-orchestrate-an-autonomous-lab.jsonld"}}
