A new method and apparatus for coral husbandry called CHARM has been invented with the ambition to grow coral at economies of scale. It does so by combining machine automation with science based methods to create industrious repeatability.

​

CHARM’s machine vision, robotic end effectors, artificial intelligence, deep learning capabilities, and easy-to-use interface will help manage the vast number of coral polyps and reef species in a nursery of the future.
