the system
in action

Four everyday scenarios with Senticube, played out from start to finish. The final hardware is still being manufactured: every figure in this demo is simulated, but the flow, the AI pipeline and the email template are the system's real ones.

A vehicle hits yours and drives off

Your car is parked at night. Another vehicle hits it while maneuvering and drives away. Senticube wakes up, records, reads the plate and sends you the evidence in under 30 seconds.

  1. 01

    Impact detected

    The SW-420 registers 0.87g. Threshold exceeded: the system leaves deep sleep in ~120 ms.

  2. 02

    4 cameras activated

    Simultaneous recording. CAM·B has the angle on the vehicle involved.

  3. 03

    Split into frames

    The video is sliced up and the candidate frames are selected for analysis.

  4. 04

    AI detection (YOLOv8)

    Inference at 1280 px with TTA. The candidate box passes STRICT mode: ar 2.71, frac_roi 0.94, heuristic k = 0.87.

  5. 05

    OCR and validation

    Preprocessing (adaptive binarization + Otsu) → Tesseract → canonicalization against the Spanish format NNNN LLL.

  6. 06

    Report sent

    Email with photo, video, plate and GPS. Keep the message as documentary evidence.

Keep this email: it works as documentary evidence for your insurer or a police report.

Where is my car?

Just like an Apple device: press Find and the Senticube's GNSS answers with its position in real time, even while the vehicle is moving.

Emergency on board

The SOS button sits on the bottom face of the cube. A long press sends the alert to your 3 saved contacts and to the app by push, with your live position. And if the vehicle leaves its route in an unusual way for a long stretch, Senticube raises the alarm on its own.

Route monitoring (automatic)

On a main road or motorway, if the vehicle strays from the expected route in an unusual and sustained way, you are notified without pressing anything.

Call your vehicle

Senticube has its own SIM, a speaker and a KY-038 microphone: you can call it like a phone and talk to whoever is in the car — or listen to what is happening inside.
