A closed loop between observation and action

Why Verdant’s architecture routes every AI decision through a deterministic safety controller before acting on the crop.

Every Verdant decision starts from a real measurement and goes through a safety controller before acting on the environment. The loop starts again with each new observation: measure, decide, act.

The steps of the loop

  • Sensors: temperature, humidity, substrate moisture, light, CO₂.
  • Collection: continuous, timestamped data acquisition.
  • Analysis: putting measurements in the context of the crop’s needs.
  • AI agent: proposes agronomic actions.
  • Safety controller: deterministic validation before execution.
  • Actuators: irrigation, ventilation, lighting, heating.
An AI that proposes, a deterministic controller that validates.

This separation is meant to ensure that no uncertain decision is ever applied directly to the physical world.
