Holocron Engine v2
An AI-driven tool for generating robotic hardware and firmware. Starting from a natural language description, it automates the full workflow of conceptual design, actuator selection, circuit layout, structural modeling and firmware code generation.
Timeline (last 90 days)
In Holocron Engine v2, AI is responsible for design decisions, while ordinary algorithms are responsible for verifying facts such as numerical values, fits and connections.
In Holocron Engine v2's layout stage, moving parts in 2D is reflected synchronously in 3D.
Holocron Engine v2's code step generation can produce firmware that actually drives actuators, rather than TODO skeletons.
The video demonstrates a mobile robot with a 6-DOF robotic arm completing all seven steps of Holocron Engine v2.
The author admits that Holocron Engine v2 is still in an early stage and that some steps are still rather rough.
Information about Holocron Engine v2 comes mainly from a single source, the original Reddit post, and there is as yet no independent review or third-party verification.
A few weeks ago the author published a quadruped robot design and collected feedback, and many of the improvements in v2 come directly from the comments on that previous post.
In the electronics stage, Holocron Engine v2 designs the wiring network pin by pin and then verifies voltage, current, wire gauge and grounding.
The structural step of Holocron Engine v2 builds frames, mounts and cable routing based on real part dimensions.
Holocron Engine v2 selects real servos, motors or QDD actuators from a catalog and checks torque, speed and power margins against the load.
