MEMS, Microfluidics & Precision Dosing
Miniaturized sensing, valves, beam steering and fluid handling for plant-scale interventions.
Maturity Commercial components / emerging agricultural integration
Architecture role
Microelectromechanical and microfluidic technologies can shrink sensors and fluid-control hardware, enabling precise treatment without carrying the complexity of large conventional application systems.
Core capabilities
- MEMS inertial and pressure sensors embedded throughout mobile platforms.
- Microvalves and precision metering for water, nutrient and biological treatments.
- Microfluidic sampling or reagent handling where diagnosis requires it.
- MEMS optical steering or scanning for selected compact photonic subsystems.
- Clog detection, self-test and serviceable fluid paths for dirty agricultural environments.
Aurora design direction
Plant Dose is the clearest application. Aurora can also explore compact optical steering and microfluidic diagnostic cartridges, but field maintainability must remain more important than extreme miniaturization.
