The Gantry - Precision Meets Automation
The gantry is an advanced robotic system integral to SeaFoundry's automation efforts, designed to revolutionize coral care and research in ex-situ facilities. It consists of a robotic arm mounted on a 3-axis frame, which allows precise movement across tanks housing corals. This system automates critical tasks in coral husbandry and data collection, reducing manual labor and improving consistency.

Key features:
1. Automated Imaging and Analysis:
Captures high-resolution images of corals to monitor growth, size, and health over time and integrates advanced algorithms for detecting anomalies, such as stress or disease and other.
The system is equipped to support both multispectral and hyperspectral imaging technologies, enabling detailed analysis of physiological changes within coral tissues. These advanced imaging techniques provide crucial insights by capturing a wide range of light wavelengths, allowing researchers to detect subtle stress responses, monitor metabolic activity, and identify early signs of bleaching or disease with unparalleled precision.
2. Robotic Precision:
The gantry executes repetitive tasks like feeding, cleaning, or applying treatments with minimal human intervention, reducing the risk of errors and ensures uniform care across all tanks.
3. Integrated Monitoring:
Synchronizes with life support systems to track environmental parameters like temperature and pH in real time. Provides Actionable data for optimizing coral growth and resilience.
