Autonomous Livestock Infrastructure
Nomad Barn Grid
A centimeter-shifting barn and coop that rotates grazing, fertilizes soil, supports tether systems, and automates animal care.
Overview
Nomad Barn Grid rethinks livestock operations as a living, moving system. The barn and coop shift in centimeter increments to rotate grazing, boost sunlight exposure, and fertilize fresh ground every day. It supports tether-based feeding for large animals, onboard seed storage with planting, and integrations for automated milking and cleaning. Smart collars track vitals and location so the entire farm stays measurable in real time.
Challenge
Coordinating movement, feeding, planting, and animal health tracking in one reliable system across changing terrain.
Solution
A modular robotics architecture with synchronized motion control, IoT collar telemetry, and rule-based farm workflows connected to autonomous service modules.
