From the ground up

Built from mud and code.

Dot is a robotic garden assistant built for people who care deeply about growing things.

Dot handles the systematic work, the watering rounds, the precise seeding at the right depth, the raking of sections, so you can focus on the parts of gardening that actually require a human.

Dot 1 is open source. The hardware, the software, all of it. Take it, build it, change it. If you make it better, we'd love to know.

The garden is patient. So are we.

Dot 2

Dot 1 taught us what growing food with a machine actually means. Dot 2 is what comes next.

A larger arm. A larger bed. Built to live outside, in the weather, in the soil, and grow a meaningful share of a family's vegetables.

We are not there yet.

FAQ
The repository includes all 3D print files and a README with assembly instructions.

The decagon garden bed is approximately 600mm in diameter with 10 sections, one for each seeded disc.
Yes. The hardware designs are open under the CERN Open Hardware Licence. Take it, build it, modify it, and share what you make.
Dot 2 is the next generation, currently in development. A larger arm, a larger bed, designed to sit in a backyard and grow a meaningful share of a family's vegetables. More details when we're ready.
