 AutomataKit is a collection of open hardware and software developed to as a rapidly reconfigurable library for various machine-building, process development, and robotics projects. 
 
-Typically, designing and engineering complex systems requires knowledge across the disciplines of electrical engineering, embedded programming, mechanical design, controls engineering, and interface design. By breaking these components into reconfigurable [software and hardware objects](!/nadya-phd), AutomataKit aims to allow non-experts (and experts) to jump in to higher-level systems design.
+It uses a Distributed Dataflow Programming paradigm: hardware and software objects are all nodes in a graph, executing computing and physical tasks.
 
-!DOC - threeset: hardware objects, network topology, software
+[ATKAPI](https://gitlab.cba.mit.edu/jakeread/reich) serves a development environment for those graphs.
