Henrarium - Smart Chicken Coop

Smart Chicken Coop MK1 After a year of R&D and field work, I’m proud to announce that MK1 is finished. Of course it is prototype and in terms of design it does not have anything common with finished product. But all the electronics is functional and should allow us to run chicken coop autonomosly up to 3 weeks (depending on number of chicken inside). Videos and photos will follow in coming weeks as we organize professional videoshooting. Next steps: - 6 months of running a coop - 3-6 months industrial design - 6-9 months preparation for serial manufacturing

First draft of smart chicken coop. Project name is “Henrarium”. Reserved domain henrarium.com First generation of smart chicken coop will inevitably cost a lot. We plan to target premium auditory. IT professionals who moved to the suburbs during the COVID-19 pandemic. Our hypotheses is that these kind of people like the idea of chicken coop, but do not want to spend time cleaning after the hens. They need a kind of vivarium for hens as their target is not to ensure food security, but to observe pets life. We consider these things to be crucially important: - high aesthetic - high level of autonomy - high level of robotisation - possibility of remote monitoring (including video)
