Autonomous systems · Agri-tech · Renewable energy · Smart farming

One company.
Any terrain. Any mission.

CORA Robotics builds one connected technology family: CARGA for rugged autonomy, SIEMBRA for agricultural field intelligence, SOLARA for renewable-energy robotics and IoT control, and HydroOS for smart hydroponic automation. Each product can stand alone, integrate into an existing operation, or share the same cloud, data, mobile, and automation backbone.

Four ventures. One integrated platform strategy.

Every product is part of the same ecosystem: modular hardware, edge intelligence, mobile-first control, cloud telemetry, and infrastructure compatibility designed to fit inside the customer’s existing environment instead of forcing a rip-and-replace decision.

Built like a product family, not four disconnected ideas. CARGA, SIEMBRA, SOLARA, and HydroOS share the same design language: edge nodes, telemetry streams, modular hardware, mobile dashboards, cloud APIs, role-based access, alerts, reporting, and customer-specific deployment paths.

Renewable energy robotics & IoT

SOLARA: custom robotics and IoT control systems for the green sector

Solar site robotics IoT control systems Custom UGV builds Panel + string telemetry Predictive maintenance SCADA / EMS compatible

SOLARA is CORA's green-sector engineering practice: custom autonomous ground systems built on the CARGA platform, paired with purpose-built IoT control systems for solar farms, battery storage sites, and renewable energy operators. It exists to bring the same rugged, modular, cloud-connected engineering CORA uses across CARGA, SIEMBRA, and HydroOS into the renewable energy sector.

The work spans two connected layers. On the ground, SOLARA adapts the CARGA chassis into custom UGVs for panel-row inspection, vegetation management, perimeter security, and thermal/visual anomaly detection across solar and wind sites. In the control room, SOLARA IoT systems connect inverters, combiner boxes, weather stations, battery management systems, and switchgear into one cloud-connected monitoring and control layer: built to sit alongside existing SCADA and energy management systems, not replace them outright.

Screenshot placeholder: SOLARA site dashboard: string-level telemetry, inverter status, battery storage health, weather data, site map, and multi-site portfolio view.

Option 1: Custom UGV development Option 2: IoT control systems Option 3: Full turnkey deployment
  • Custom UGV site robotics: adapt CARGA's tracked chassis for panel-row inspection, vegetation management, thermal imaging sweeps, and perimeter patrol across solar and wind installations.
  • Panel & string-level telemetry: monitor inverter output, string currents, panel soiling, and thermal hot-spots to catch underperformance before it costs real energy yield.
  • Environmental & weather sensing: irradiance, ambient and module temperature, wind speed, and humidity feeding directly into performance-ratio calculations.
  • Battery storage monitoring: cell/pack voltage, state of charge, thermal behavior, and cycle health for on-site battery energy storage systems (BESS).
  • Predictive maintenance: detect degrading strings, failing inverters, and drifting sensor baselines before they become truck-roll incidents.
  • SCADA / EMS integration: connect into existing SCADA, DERMS, and energy management systems via Modbus, MQTT, and REST APIs rather than forcing a rip-and-replace.
  • Remote control & relay automation: string-level disconnects, curtailment signals, and safety shutdown relays with full audit logging.
  • Vegetation & site maintenance robotics: recurring ground-cover inspection and management routes that keep panel rows clear without manual site visits.
  • Site-wide cloud dashboards: AWS IoT Core / MongoDB Atlas telemetry pipeline, matching the same cloud architecture CARGA, SIEMBRA, and HydroOS already use.
  • Multi-site portfolio view: roll up performance, alerts, and maintenance status across every deployed site from one operator dashboard.

HydroOS Solutions: product, retrofit, or custom infrastructure layer

Modular grow frames Custom hydroponics Automation retrofits Sensor + dosing control Commercial layout design AWS / Azure / MongoDB ready Existing infrastructure compatible

HydroOS is more than a vertical farming product. It is a complete in-house hydroponic engineering stack that can be sold as a manufactured system, adapted into an existing farm, or used as the foundation for custom grow-room, warehouse, greenhouse, restaurant, school, and research deployments.

The core platform is built around a universal 48" × 24" HydroOS frame, sliding crop rails, stackable T-slot construction, swappable rail depths, sensor-driven nutrient control, and cloud-connected monitoring. That gives customers a system that can start as one frame and scale into multi-row commercial production without changing the underlying architecture.

Productized HydroOS v3 Custom farm builds Retrofit automation Managed controls package
  • Complete HydroOS v3 system sales: provide a modular vertical farming system using stackable aluminum frames, sliding rail inserts, grow lights, drain pans, reservoirs, pumps, sensors, dosing hardware, and mobile/cloud control.
  • Custom in-house hydroponic builds: design and fabricate grow systems around the customer’s crop, space, budget, utility access, harvest target, and workflow instead of forcing every site into a fixed off-the-shelf layout.
  • Sliding rail crop flexibility: swap rail inserts for microgreens, lettuce, herbs, peppers, strawberries, tomatoes, cucumbers, root crops, substrate tubs, or research trays without replacing the frame structure.
  • Multi-layout deployment: configure the same HydroOS foundation as horizontal racks, multi-tier stacks, A-frame grow rows, vertical towers, living walls, countertop units, or warehouse-scale production bays.
  • Automation retrofit package: add HydroOS controls to existing hydroponic systems with pH, EC, water temperature, ambient temperature, humidity, lux, float switches, pump relays, lighting relays, fan control, and dosing automation.
  • Four-channel nutrient dosing: support automated pH down, pH up, Nutrient A, and Nutrient B control using peristaltic pumps, setpoints, alarms, safety shutoffs, and logged dosing events.
  • Industrial controls architecture: use Raspberry Pi CM4, ESP32-S3, MQTT, FastAPI, WebSocket control, local database storage, cloud sync, and mobile dashboards for reliable local-first operation with remote visibility.
  • Commercial planning and sizing: calculate plant density, reservoir volume, pump capacity, head pressure, lighting power, nutrient requirements, rack count, aisle spacing, and zone-level equipment for small farms through warehouse deployments.
  • Manufacturable component library: leverage documented net-pot collars, cam lever locks, stacking connectors, drip emitters, sensor wells, manifolds, and printed or molded parts for repeatable production.
  • Customer-specific packaging: sell HydroOS as a DIY kit, professional installation, managed automation package, commercial farm design service, licensing package, or private-label hydroponic technology line.

For partners and investors

A platform company with four active technology directions

CORA Robotics is structured as a platform business: shared engineering, shared cloud infrastructure, shared mobile architecture. What we build for CARGA's autonomy stack directly accelerates HydroOS sensor pipelines. What we build for SOLARA's IoT control systems directly serves SIEMBRA's field management interface.

Each venture is independently commercializable and collectively they form a defensible, multi-market technology portfolio.
