OpenV is an open-source, verification-first hardware engineering pipeline built around one principle: AI-generated hardware is a hypothesis, not proof.
It connects a plain-English mission to requirements, an Astra-proposed design, CAD, independent verification and evidence-driven redesign. Dalus serves as the persistent engineering system of record through MCP.
Our motor-glider example demonstrates a real failure-and-repair loop: geometry checks find the battery intersecting two servo mounts. Astra receives the evidence and moves the battery forward 3.6 mm. Seven dependent evidence records are invalidated, and fresh verification clears the collisions. The result includes an interactive STEP assembly, sourced components, simulation visualizations and a manufacturing candidate package. Sixteen modeled checks pass; eight requirements remain explicitly UNKNOWN, including physical flight.
Built today: the OpenV pipeline, Dalus MCP adapter, verification/redesign loop and interactive browser experience.
