Description
AI writes your firmware. Your PCB and enclosure are still done by hand. Odem closes that gap. Describe a device and one agent picks real parts, draws the schematic, lays out and routes the board in real KiCad, models a 3D-printable enclosure around the actual PCB, and writes firmware that builds. It runs ERC, DRC and fit checks, then exports Gerbers, BOM, STEP and STL. No mockups. Real, editable engineering files.

Could you build this?
No Automating end-to-end hardware engineering—including EE component selection, KiCad programmatic autorouting, parametric 3D CAD modeling, and compilation-ready firmware—is an unsolved deep engineering and AI research problem.
What it would actually take: This requires integrating multimodal LLMs with deterministic physical solvers, KiCad Python scripting APIs for layout and DRC (design rule checking), OpenSCAD/CadQuery for parametric enclosure generation, and toolchains for compiling embedded C/Rust firmware. Developing agents capable of avoiding electrical, routing, and thermal failure modes requires deep electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, and agentic orchestration expertise.
