Bloom Weir, valve controllers ensures reliable, finely-controlled water delivery to specific areas (or plots) of a farm, based on programmable schedules for periods lasting upto six months.

Schedule 'Off-Peak' irrigation (eg:night-time) to save water.

Cerebrum runs Ceres 2.0 on a rugged Pi Zero, powered by Lithium-Ion battery. It runs software to orchestrate farming activities through Bloom-compatible equipment: pumps, valves, sensors, interconnected over 4sqkm, through Bloom Vox enabled wireless radio.

Our next generation of autonomous farm orchestration servers, Bloom Cerebrum. It is designed to operate the most complex alternative farming operation today: containerized, dryland & desert farms.

@shekharkapur @shekharkapur , our current confrontational disposition aside, the answer to your question certainly lies in modern Chinese history.

How can an emerging country create powerful world beating brands?

For China it took 40 years of cultural transformation under Deng Xiaoping...

Expanding our R&D initiative with Vivunes today to develop a low-cost ($400) autonomous, climate-controlled solar dryer (20-kg batch size).

Drying fruits & vegetables is a #sustainable way to avoid #foodwaste.

Rebooting our operations in the midst of a partial lockdown in Tamilnadu...

Farmers like Muthu Kumar in Uthukuli, Tiruppur, are actively moving into touch-less, remote, farm automation to adapt in a post-covid world.

Expanding BloomBox applications beyond irrigation, into renewable energy applications... In partnership with Vivunes, our first co-development pilot project to power advanced climate control in low-cost solar dryers is now operational.

@VaniKola Inspiring... Just as worthy as the poem that inspired him, in these troubled times.

The TWAD (Tamilnadu Water Supply and Drainage Board) supervisor for the village of Vellivoyal, Tamilnadu. Bloom controllers now ensures reliable drinking water supplies for the entire Vellivoyal panchayat - a population of 3511 individuals including 820 families. (#ESP32 Inside)

An honour to partake in Pongal, the Indian festival of harvest with several peasant families that supported our 2019 Bloom pilots in their farms.

Without them, our understanding of the evolving shape of the agricultural landscape would have been incomplete.

Welcome to 2020.

Empowering farmers with the tools for an assisted farming revolution - one farm at a time...

We just crossed a 100 acres under autonomous irrigation when Mr. Rathinamoorthy field became the 26th farm running on a BloomBox since launch on October 2nd.

We are triggering a grassroot movement on water self sufficiency on this day of Gandhi Jayanthi.

At the symposium and formal launch co-presided by the current MLA of Madathukum and the former state minister of industry, 17 farmers were presented free new ExoCortex BloomBoxes.

... he found out that the magic box would irrigate his farm a whole year with almost no human intervention.

Designing technology for peopleblike Thangavel, simple enough to be 'invisible' by design, is perhaps the greatest hurdle to adoption of autonomous farming in India.

[ExoCortex Systems @ExocortexS]

Thangavel, a farm hand at one of the two farms that came online at Pollachi this weekend, seems apprehensive holding our the curious next-gen BloomBox in his hand.

That changed into wonderment and curiosity only a few minutes later...

[ExoCortex Systems @ExocortexS]

Our second generation ExoCortex BloomBox goes live on two farms in Pollachi this week.

@sandeep_sr @vkhosla @_syntheticminds Thus, a Heisenberginan uncertainty principle does govern AI as it asymptotically approaches AGI - the perceived precision of the system is inversely proportional to the square of its complementary parameters - constraints and capabilities (Alexander's Notes on Synthesis of Form)

[ExoCortex Systems @ExocortexS]

@sandeep_sr @vkhosla @_syntheticminds It is however very possible the statement perhaps holds true only in the immediate to medium term horizon...

Consider an AI device that perfectly emulates 'deceit'. The cost of validating a Chinese Room experiment rises exponentially as the constraints & capabilities expand...
