Beijing's municipal science commission and the Zhongguancun administrative committee issued an Implementation Plan (2026–2028) to accelerate AI-enabled scientific research, targeting a global scientific-intelligence innovation hub by 2028 to support the Beijing–Tianjin–Hebei international science and technology innovation centre. The plan names autonomous laboratories as the core vehicle to reshape research workflows and funds integrated intelligent experimental platforms that combine AI, embodied robotics and high‑throughput instruments with end-to-end autonomous capabilities from hypothesis generation and experimental planning to validation and discovery. These facilities will create a dry‑wet closed loop of "compute-guided experiments, experiment-feedback compute" to substantially shorten research cycles.
