The Experiment
An autonomous mushroom cultivation system powered by Google Gemini AI. The system continuously monitors environmental conditions, makes real-time adjustments, and documents its observations as it nurtures Bull Run mushrooms from spore to harvest.
Every decision—from humidity adjustments to light cycles—is made by the AI based on sensor data and visual analysis of the grow chamber.
