Abstract
A controlled growth system is provided herein. The controlled growth system includes a controlled growth environment, a controller, a sensor, and a computing system. The controlled growth environment is configured to grow a biologic. The controller is in communication with the controlled growth environment. The controller is configured to manage process parameters of the controlled growth environment. The sensor is configured to monitor the biologic during a growth process. The computing system is in communication with the sensor and the controller. The computing system is programmed to perform operations for achieving a desired final quality metric for the biologic.

A controlled growth system, comprising:
- a controller configured to manage process parameters of a controlled growth environment;
- a sensor configured to monitor a biologic in the controlled growth environment during a growth process;
- and
- a computing system in communication with the sensor and the controller, the computing system programmed to perform operations comprising:
- initiating the growth process by providing the controller with an initial set of process parameters for the controlled growth environment;
- receiving sensor data from the sensor during the growth process, wherein the sensor data comprises at least an image of the biologic;
- generating, based on the image, a predicted final quality metric for the biologic, wherein the predicted final quality metric represents a final state of the biologic at an end of the growth process based on a current state of the biologic;
- determining that the predicted final quality metric for the biologic is not within a threshold range of a canonical final quality metric;
- based on the determining, generating an updated set of process parameters to achieve the canonical final quality metric;
- and
- providing the updated set of process parameters to the controller.
A method for controlling a growth of a biologic in a controlled growth environment, comprising:
- initiating, by a computing system, a growth process for the biologic in the controlled growth environment by providing a controller of the controlled growth environment with an initial set of process parameters;
- receiving, by the computing system, sensor data from a sensor of the controlled growth environment during the growth process, wherein the sensor data comprises at least an image of the biologic;
- generating, by the computing system, based on the image, a predicted final quality metric for the biologic, wherein the predicted final quality metric represents a final state of the biologic at an end of the growth process based on a current state of the biologic;
- determining, by the computing system, that the predicted final quality metric for the biologic is not within a threshold range of a canonical final quality metric;
- based on the determining, generating, by the computing system, an updated set of process parameters to achieve the canonical final quality metric;
- and
- providing, by the computing system, the updated set of process parameters to the controller.
