I work on a lot of different projects, the ones listed here are the projects that I can articulate more clearly. If you can't find the project you were looking for or if you need more information just ask me. I will do my best to respond to all requests but I am an introvert. Send me a message on X or Linked In

AutonomousAI is the project site, it includes the Blueprint for Autonomous AI Expansion, and will include all of the suporting documents for the AI Console, AI Chat, AI Loops & Teams, and other open source AI projects.
The Autonomous AI Code site offers some basic scripts and will soon contain comprehensive insights into the source code of various Autonomous AI projects. It will cover detailed code structures, contributing guidelines, and examples to help developers understand and contribute effectively to the projects.
The Stair Climbing Remote Operated Vehicle platform is envisioned as a modular, multi-purpose robot aimed at automating and augmenting labor-intensive tasks, reducing human effort, and leveraging advancements in AI and robotics for practical assistance. It combines traditional productivity tools with modern technology, such as FPV (First-Person View) control, multiple attachments, and a hybrid power system, to serve purposes like snow removal, material transport, lawn mowing, and future factory automation. It will be capable of driving inside the house and other tight spaces, up and down stairs, and over large obstacles. They will have a variable lift system for maintaining a level platform and improving reach.
A fully automated microgreens production system optimized for maximum exposure to sunlight. Microgreens are just simply a plant that is grown for only the first 1-3 weeks. They contain a high concentration of nutrients and can convert a grain or seed based food supply into fast growing fresh produce. They will be incredibly important to scalable operations in remote climates as well as for providing low cost, high quality nutrients to the public. This project will be developed along with the insect production system to use up the roots and waste.
This fully automated production system is essentially a modular CNC bin management system with some extra parts. It will allow the operators to input feed into a central point, with automatic feeding and checkups. The insects will be automatically harvested and packaged. It can reduce the exposure to pathogens by remaining closed for maximum biosecurity. They are almost a free feed source for other animals like chickens, cows, ducks, geese, sugar gliders, fish, lizards, etc. I have no intention of eating bugs or trying to get people to eat bugs, but I will make them safe for consumption for the sake of the animals. If you want to eat bugs, I support you. I would gladly sell them to you for that purpose but it just isn't something I'm comfortable with eating myself. Mealworms and BSFL are both harmless and resistant to pathogens. BSFL don't even have a mouth (adult BSFL do not eat). Mealworms are ideal for stable, long term systems with good access to grain and other dry food sources. They take about 3 months to reach maturity. If the feed sources are more moist like manure, then BSFL will be used. BSFL are much faster and will complete their life cycle in less than 3 weeks, but they require a lot more attention and consume more feed than mealworms. Both insects are important to completing the farm eco system.
This CNC system will be used to warehouse products from the other production systems and could be adapted to many different production systems. It uses an overhead rail system so it can be extended infinitely. It maintains a database of every item in its storage and will automatically retreive the items.
The system, or system, is designed to optimize the movement of pallets through sub-terranean logistics networks. With a major focus on efficiency, the URFT emphasizes standardized tunnel dimensions and transport mechanisms to ensure compatibility across different logistics operations. This system not only reduces construction costs and alleviates the dependency on proprietary technologies but also significantly increases throughput. By adhering to these standards, the URFT system aims to streamline underground freight operations, offering a scalable solution adaptable to varying logistical needs.
