The right amount, repeatedly.
Too much or too little food is the problem we aim to address. Repeatable portions are a design goal that still needs measurement.
BOBERLI / FIRST PRODUCT IN DEVELOPMENT
Thoughtful engineering.
One feeding
at a time.
Meet AutoFishFeeder. An automatic aquarium feeding system being developed to make controlled, repeatable feeding part of everyday fish care.
Mechanical prototype development · Physical testing open
Founder-led. Self-funded. Built step by step.

01 / THE EVERYDAY CHALLENGE
Small portions.
Real engineering questions.
Aquarium care needs consistency. AutoFishFeeder explores how a serviceable mechanism could make feeding easier to manage, especially when a keeper is away.
A routine that can continue.
Travel and busy days motivate scheduled feeding. Reliable unattended operation remains a future test objective.
Food is part of the mechanism.
Feed shape, size and moisture may affect transport and dispensing. Maintenance access matters when something needs attention.
These are product hypotheses to test with aquarium keepers, not findings from a completed customer study.
02 / THE APPROACH
A clear path.
From storage to feeding.
A hopper, a removable cartridge and a motor-driven transport mechanism form the mechanical core. Electronic control is the next integration step.
Storage
The hopper holds feed above the transport mechanism.
Metering / transport
A motor drives an auger inside the cartridge to move feed.
Dispensing
The outlet provides the intended path into the aquarium.
Electronic control
Control will coordinate motor timing and operating limits.
Feed moves through steps 01–03. Electronic control will govern the mechanism; it is not another stage in the food path.
03 / INSIDE THE DEVELOPMENT
Designed to come apart.
Built to be understood.
These views come from the current mechanical development model. Colours distinguish components; they do not specify final materials or a finished product.

04 / WHERE THE PROJECT STANDS
Real progress.
Open questions.
Mechanical design and prototype iterations are documented. Product-level feeding reliability has not yet been demonstrated.
Development snapshot · September 2026
- Developed digitally
Parametric mechanical architecture
Editable CAD sources and successive interface revisions.
- Prepared · issues open
FDM prototype preparation
Component exports and focused test coupons prepared. A motor-latch printability issue remains open.
- Testing open
Physical fit and retention
Earlier fit observations informed revisions. Current battery and motor locks still need coupon tests.
- Pending
Feed flow and repeatability
Portion consistency, jamming and cycle life need measured tests.
- Planned
Embedded control integration
A computer-based control reference exists. Integration and verification on feeder hardware remain open.
A parallel research direction: aquarium observation. Local fish-detection experiments and error reviews are underway. Reliable counting, appetite assessment and health interpretation are not established product capabilities.
05 / THE DEVELOPMENT METHOD
Make it inspectable.
Then make it dependable.
The project's strengths are in how it is being developed. Reliability remains an outcome to earn through testing.
Change with a trace.
Parametric geometry and recorded revisions make design changes easier to inspect and compare.
Consider the next repair.
Removable modules put assembly and maintenance into the design process. Actual fit and access still need verification.
Test the uncertain part.
Focused FDM coupons help investigate a joint before committing to another full enclosure print.
WHO IT IS BEING BUILT FOR
Aquarium keepers first.
Market validation is planned.
The initial focus is home aquarium owners, frequent travellers and people maintaining several tanks. Aquarium stores, small breeders and maintenance businesses are possible future pilot partners.
06 / WHAT COMES NEXT
A roadmap led
by evidence.
Progress depends on what each test reveals. These are development stages, with no announced launch date.
Characterise the prototype
Measure fit, retention and service access; resolve open printability issues.
Measure the feeding
Test feed flow and portion repeatability with defined feed samples.
Integrate the controls
Connect motor operation, timing and bounded control behaviour.
Run repeated cycles
Investigate wear, jams and reliability over sustained operation.
Learn with pilot users
Trial suitable prototypes in representative aquarium routines.
Evaluate the next scale
Assess manufacturing and incorporation as product and market evidence develops.

07 / BEHIND THE PROJECT
A broad vision.
A focused beginning.
Boberli is a bootstrapped, founder-led engineering venture currently developing AutoFishFeeder.
It is in the pre-incorporation stage, with resources focused on prototyping and reducing technical uncertainty. Incorporation will be considered as product and market evidence strengthens.
Explore the longer-term Boberli vision
Boberli's broader interests connect robotics, automation and practical engineering. These are future directions, not completed projects or services currently delivered.
