This system is composed of autonomous modular cubes, a centralized intelligent shelf, and a control interface via app that allows for easy scaling of the cultivation laboratory.
1. 📦 Cube Design
Each cube will be a modular package that integrates sensors, actuators, and connectivity.
🧊 Physical structure:
- Containment box:
- Material: Plastic or acrylic with thermal insulation.
- Modular and ventilated design.
📡 Internal components:
- 🌫 Humidity sensor: To automatically control the humidifier.
- 🧪 CO₂ sensor: Ensures an optimal gaseous environment.
- 🔥 Heating system: Controlled by a temperature sensor.
- 💨 Fans: Facilitate air circulation and gas control.
- 📷 Integrated camera: For visual monitoring with AI analysis.
- 🔌 Power connection: Each cube has its own power source or adapter.
- 📶 Communication port: Data transmission via Wi-Fi, MQTT, or another protocol.
2. 🗄️ Intelligent Vertical Shelf
🧩 Physical support:
- Mounting rails: Allow for easy insertion/removal of cubes.
- Central management platform:
- Processing, automation, and power distribution.
- Possible use of a Raspberry Pi or other microcontroller as the system’s brain.
⚡ Backup power:
- UPS system (batteries): Maintains operation during power outages.
3. 📱 Interface and Automation
A mobile/web application will be the main interface for controlling the ecosystem:
👤 Configuration by species:
- When adding a cube, the user selects the mushroom (e.g., Sinocubila, Cordyceps, Lion’s Mane).
- The AI automatically adjusts the optimal parameters for its growth.
📈 Real-time visualization:
- Temperature, humidity, and CO₂ graphs.
- Automatic notifications about harvest, abnormal status, etc.
🌱 Ready harvest detection:
- Computer vision and machine learning detect the growth and maturity status of the crop.
4. 🧩 Modularity and Scalability
🚀 Basic start:
- The system will start with 5 modular cubes.
🔄 Frictionless expansion:
- Only requires adding additional cubes and configuring them in the app to scale the system.
- All control remains centralized and automated.
🔧 The design is intended to combine technology, efficiency, and ease of use, allowing for a highly professional and automated home cultivation.
