Every component inside the NIH-01 hub is selected to respect plant biology and human privacy.

Hardware

FLIR Thermal Biometrics

Lepton 3.5 micro-radiometric thermal core reads true leaf surface temperature non-invasively without physical contact.

Hardware

Bosch Quad-Gas Sensing

BME688 AI gas sensor measures VOCs, CO2 equivalents, atmospheric humidity, and volatile organic transpiration compounds.

Voice AI

NTE Spoken Voice Engine

Translates biophysical readings into 4 distinct voice personalities across 8 human languages directly on your device.

Compute

TinyML Edge NPU

On-device neural processor runs inference at <45ms latency with zero dependence on cloud servers or internet connectivity.
