Soil Carbon Whisperer
A low-cost probe that logs soil-carbon flux for months on a coin cell, giving smallholders a real measurement of regenerative practice instead of a guess.

We work on problems that are easy to explain and hard to solve well: cheap sensing, edge intelligence, open hardware, and reliable systems for places the cloud never reaches.
A low-cost probe that logs soil-carbon flux for months on a coin cell, giving smallholders a real measurement of regenerative practice instead of a guess.
An autonomous underground camera crawler that images root growth and soil structure without digging up the plant — turning root phenotyping into a repeatable measurement.
Benchmarking lightweight ciphers so an 8-bit sensor with kilobytes of RAM can still speak securely — measuring energy, latency, and code size on real silicon.
A LoRa-mesh of low-cost air-quality nodes for neighbourhoods off the grid, designed to keep reporting when the power and the internet do not.
An open, low-cost myoelectric controller for DIY prosthetics — every part sourceable, every firmware line readable, designed to be built and repaired anywhere.
Monitoring solar nano-grids so rural homes can trust their power — logging charge, load, and faults, with encrypted pay-as-you-go built in.
A pocket water-quality kit that streams readings to an open map, so a community can see the state of its own wells without waiting on a lab.
Edge-AI that identifies birds by their song on a bare microcontroller — no cloud, no connection, just a microphone, a battery, and a model small enough to fit.
