Living Systems • Parametric Hardware Pipeline

Where nature grows,
hardware thinks locally.

Custom local-first edge controllers engineered for autonomous living environments. Designed from specification to physical circuit boards via our automated parametric hardware toolchain, and proven in continuous closed-loop aquaponics.

Indoor living space with lush natural aquaponic system

Built for quiet rooms

Quiet automation, zero external surveillance.

Your home shouldn’t depend on distant third-party servers. Our edge nodes manage fluid cycles, circadian lighting, and climate entirely inside your local network.

Autonomous Agent Execution Flow

How our AI agents compile physical hardware.

A closed-loop multi-agent workflow converting natural language prompts into verified PCB schematics, deterministic firmware binaries, and 3D enclosures.

01

Specification Ingestion

Agent ingests peripheral requirements (relays, sensors, GSM, power rails) and decomposes pin constraints.

02

Schematic & Netlist Solver

Claude 3.5 Sonnet reasons through pinouts, checks datasheet electrical limits, and outputs syntax-checked KiCad files.

03

Firmware Code Synthesis

Synthesizes bare-metal C++/Rust routines, non-blocking state loops, local SQLite cache, and watchdog checks.

04

AI CAD Enclosure

Extracts PCB dimensions to synthesize parametric 3D snap-fit enclosures with custom thermal dissipation louvers.

Supported Chips

Target the right microcontroller for each job.

We do not lock your designs to one chip vendor. Pick between budget-friendly Wi-Fi nodes, deterministic IO controllers, or industrial radiation-tolerant microcontrollers.

Espressif Systems

ESP32-C3 RISC-V

Our main pilot board for room sensors and indoor pumps.

Live Production Controller: Specimen #01 (Lab Mesh)

Real ESP32-C3 controller in active production.

Direct captures from our live testbed panel running on our local edge infrastructure. Real relay states, cron schedules, and hardware pulses controlling physical grow equipment, tested through continuous cycles with local crops.

PRODUCTION HARDWARE TELEMETRY

Submersible pump control with zero state drift.

Captured directly from our live agricultural rig in Indonesia. The ESP32-C3 orchestrates the submersible spray pump on GPIO 5 via an optical isolation barrier. State transitions write synchronously to local SQLite storage to withstand sudden power cuts.

Closed-Loop Nitrogen Cycle Management

Fish produce ammonia. Beneficial nitrifying bacteria convert it into nitrites and nitrates, which plant roots absorb. The microcontroller tracks chemical stability and notifies before imbalances risk aquatic life.

Adaptive Biometric Fish Feeding

Feeding is not static. When water temperature drops, fish metabolism slows down. Feed portions automatically scale back to prevent uneaten pellets from decomposing and fouling the bio-filter.

Automated Siphon Flood & Drain

Plant roots require periodic air exposure to prevent rot. The controller modulates pump RPM to synchronize bell siphon drainage cycles every 45 minutes without mechanical jamming.
