Technology Within Reach
Prometheus
A mobile AI lab born for the wilderness — carrying technology farther and wider, so more people can share in its progress.
What's onboard today
Onboard Technology
Six modules that make a mobile AI lab work wherever it drives
Device Automation & Control
Local Device Control
Local models, edge computing and on-device intelligence
Runs recognition, analysis, reasoning and system orchestration under weak or zero connectivity, keeping core AI capabilities alive wherever the vehicle goes.
AI Vision Analysis
Vision AI Recognition
Cameras, vision models and event recognition
Recognizes people, objects, behaviors and state changes in and around the vehicle — proximity alerts, vehicle guarding, driving behavior monitoring and roadside object detection.
Voice Capture & Analysis
Voice Agent
Voice capture, transcription, LLM understanding and dialogue
Captures speech on site, transcribes it with local ASR, then hands it to an LLM for understanding, reasoning and conversational feedback — for guided tours, training, Q&A and conversation logging.
Off-grid Long-range Comms
Off-grid Comms / Outdoor Emergency
Off-grid communication, positioning and route logging
Keeps communication, positioning, route logging and on-site coordination running in low- or no-network environments, so the vehicle stays operational in remote areas.
Off-grid Environmental Monitoring
Environmental Sensing
Temperature, humidity, CO₂, rainfall and more
Continuously collects, logs and visualizes environmental data inside and outside the vehicle, keeping it aware of its operating conditions and surroundings.
Spatial Awareness
Positioning & Proximity Sensing
Positioning tags and proximity sensing devices
Maps positions within an area, detects approach behavior, and triggers coordinated device responses.
Who we want to attract
Partner Co-creation
From tech demos to solution training — we teach local people to use the technology, so solutions grow where they live
Tech Demos & Outreach
The vehicle drives on site to demo the onboard tech and real solutions — so more people see and understand them first.
Solution Training
Hands-on training around real devices and solutions, built on the Chaihuo Maker Academy M0–M5 course system.
Grow solutions locally
Teach local people to use the technology, so every community can grow solutions of its own.
Smart Hardware Fundamentals
Tell AI what you want in natural language — it writes the code for you.

How Co-creation Works
Got a scenario, a need, or the wish to learn? Reach out — we drive to you, train on site and land the solution
You have a scenario and a need
You've found a real scenario and need where you live, or you want to learn this technology — that's where co-creation starts.
Reach out to us
Tell us your scenario, needs and ideas — we'll work out the how and the what together.
We drive to you
The base vehicle drives to your place — we train on site and land the solution together.
What we'll do next
Open-source Modding & Roadmap
The entire conversion process is open source — we call on more friends to replicate it in more places, for a bigger impact
Friends we're calling for
Hardware & Sensor Partners
Want your module tested in the real wilderness? Mount it on the vehicle — we'll take it across the country and share long-term field data.
AI Developers
Deploy and validate your models, agents and apps under weak networks, edge compute and real audiences.
Research & Education Institutions
A mobile field-data platform and science classroom that can drive to wherever you need it.
Local Communities & Organizations
Bring technology into your community, school or village — and let more people touch real progress with their own hands.
Modification Log
续航方案：太阳能板的挑战
经过反复测试与验证，我们在基地车顶部加装了两组可折叠太阳能板组，每组峰值功率达800W。配合车载2000Ah锂电池组与智能电池管理系统，能在荒野停留时持续为AI服务器和数字加工设备提供动力。
基地车低分辨率扫描实践
要展开设计，首先想到的是如何获得车辆的数字化模型。作为改装小白，我想在动手之前，先去熟悉的 SketchUp 里看看有哪些前辈的设计方案可供参考。
移动创客空间与 DIY 露营车研究
改装一辆移动创客空间，既不同于普通的房车露营改装，也不同于固定的创客空间搭建。我们需要在有限空间里兼顾工作坊、展示、教学、旅居等多重功能。
