MechaSeed Agent Core · Concept · Demand Validation

Print the body.We provide the intelligence.

A pre-configured motion, sensing and compute core for 3D-printed robots.

Agent-ready by design, with target hardware and software matched to a specific Body Profile.

Body + Core

You print the structure. We match the hard systems.

A Body Profile defines the boundary. MechaSeed would prepare the motion, electronics, sensing and software for one exact printable-body revision.

Why not just buy the parts?

Parts are the input. Integration is the product.

Target comparison. A parts-only build may use capable components, but you remain responsible for making them work together for a specific body.

Body Profiles

Compatibility becomes a versioned profile.

Choose a supported printable body. We provide the matched hardware profile. That is the intended model; today, the first profile is still being selected. No Body Profile is verified as supported.

  1. 01

    Choose body

    Select a researched printable body and exact revision.

  2. 02

    Match profile

    Use the hardware and configuration mapped to that revision.

  3. 03

    Assemble the actuators, wiring, compute and sensors.

  4. 04

    Verify assembly

    Check zero positions and directions before programming.

MechaSeed Hardware Profile Library

A profile records the assumptions that make configuration repeatable. It is a planned product layer, not a downloadable library or working CLI today.

    Body

    Actuator

    Models, mounts, IDs, bus and joint directions

    Agent Interface

    Firmware, state and proposed SDK surface

Assembly still matters. Factory actuator settings and reference offsets reduce setup work; every finished robot still needs zero-position and direction checks. Change the body geometry, link lengths, joint directions or actuator model, and the original profile must be reassessed.

Target integration scope

What's in the Core

Target pricing: TBD

One concept product for community-built small bipeds. Categories below are feasibility targets, not finalized specifications or items available to order.

Actuators

Matched smart actuators with target IDs and bus settings

Board

Control board, actuator bus and profile-matched wiring

Compute

ARM-based compute for state, firmware and agent integration

Sensors

Camera, IMU, distance sensing, microphone and speaker

Power

Power management and battery interface targets

Full target contents, user responsibilities and exclusions are explained on the Agent Core page.

Agent Ready

Hardware through a legible interface.

AI / Agent → MechaSeed SDK → Agent Core → matched actuators → your profile-matched printed robot.

Proposed API

See. Hear. Speak. Move.

Vision, audio, distance, motion and robot state are planned as one software surface.

Proposed API — final SDK may change.

Clear answers

Before you join.

Can I use any 3D-printed robot body?

No. The target model is a set of versioned Body Profiles. Each profile would match a specific body revision, actuator layout, wiring plan and configuration. A modified or unsupported body would need a new fit and calibration assessment.

Does profile-matched mean zero calibration work?

No. MechaSeed would prepare actuator and reference configuration for a Body Profile, but every finished assembly still needs zero-position and direction checks. Print tolerances, installation and structural changes can require recalibration.

What would the Agent Core include?

The target combines matched actuators, control electronics, compute, sensing, power, a Body Profile, firmware and SDK examples. The final specification may change after feasibility work.

Is MicroDuck supported?

No body is verified as supported yet. MicroDuck is one research candidate and remains a third-party reference in our guide. Waitlist feedback helps decide what to evaluate first.

Can I buy it now?

No. MechaSeed is at Stage 1 — Validate Demand. The waitlist and optional survey record interest; they are not an order, reservation or payment.
