Learning starts with real hardware and field materials

LEDs, sensors, gateways, cameras, spatial devices, and delivery documentation — real materials used in classroom experiments, project training, and collaborative delivery.

When institutions adopt, they need to see these materials

Learning is not just a handout. Each module must correspond to hardware, experiments, project tasks, and reusable delivery materials.

  • Real Hardware

    Each module has a reusable hardware procurement list.

  • Project Tasks

    Hands-on project tasks for classrooms or bootcamps.

  • Delivery Materials

    Results-oriented delivery materials including courseware, lab manuals, and project templates.

  • Reusability

    Organize once, reuse repeatedly across batches.

Three Learning Tracks

Build with AI, Build AI Products, Solutions — three tracks for different goals and module combinations.

Learning Structure

M0–M6 are learning modules, L1–L3 are hands-on depths

The matrix is an organizational tool. In actual delivery, it corresponds to modules, class depth, hardware materials, and project outputs.

  • M0

    Smart Hardware Fundamentals

    Skip the coding barrier — tell AI what to build in plain Chinese, and create smart hardware from zero baseline

    Tell AI what you want to do in Chinese, AI writes code, compiles, flashes. Zero coding foundation, yet create your own smart hardware project.

  • M1

    Device Connectivity & Smart Control

    Break free from expensive commercial software licenses, centrally manage legacy devices of all brands locally

    Based on Home Assistant and ESPHome, unify multi-protocol device access within a local area network to enable energy monitoring and automated orchestration.

  • M2

    Multimodal AI Interaction

    Say goodbye to cumbersome system interfaces and complex operations — speak to query data, handle business, and control devices

    Based on physical AI terminals, integrating edge vision, voice, and business-system APIs to enable multimodal spatial interaction.

  • M3

    Mesh Networking & Resilient Communication

    Connect even without network or signal, supports signal relaying, quickly deploy an emergency private network with location tracking and messaging

    Based on the LoRa Mesh self-organizing protocol, build an off-grid emergency communication and sensor-data backhaul network with no public-network dependency and multi-hop relaying.

  • M4

    Edge Vision AI

    Leave behind post-event video playback, upgrade legacy cameras to real-time capture, linkable smart vision defense

    Based on lightweight edge cameras and industrial-grade multi-channel AI compute hosts, build an edge vision solution for object detection, zone intrusion alerts, and automated linkage.

  • M5

    Environmental Sensing & Data Acquisition

    No Complex Wiring Construction, Build Wide-Area Sensor Networks, Easily Achieve Industrial Digital Upgrade

    Industrial-grade sensors with dual 4G/LoRaWAN links enable low-power environmental monitoring and data acquisition in wide-area scenarios.

  • M6

    Robotic Control & Embodied Intelligence

    Say goodbye to cumbersome traditional robot programming, easily control multi-DOF motions, quickly respond to on-site operation needs

    A six-axis desktop robotic arm combined with multimodal perception, enabling master-slave teleoperation, precise 3D spatial grasping, and embodied intelligence development.

L1 · L2 · L3

  • L1 · Demo Level

    Suitable for short courses and open classes: understandable, explainable, and demonstrable.

  • L2 · Consultant Level

    Suitable for learning weeks and bootcamps: independently configure usable systems.

  • L3 · Design Level

    Suitable for business integration and deep customization: API integration, model training, private deployment.

Each module can be introduced independently at L1/L2/L3 depths, or combined across modules.
