The article presents a Cyber-Physical System (CPS) for intelligent management of a poultry farm for broiler meat production, with a fully autonomous microclimate control. Innovative concepts have been introduced for automated management and changing parameters according to pre-set conditions and schedules, with the possibility that the parameters of the algorithm can be further adjusted by the operator. The proposed CPS provides for high productivity with minimal production waste, at optimized costs and with minimization of human errors. The CPS is built on the basis of cost-oriented components. A Raspberry Pi 4 8 GB is used as the server, and the free open-source software OpenHAB 3.0 is used to optimize the cost of building the system as much as possible.

This article presents a model of a cyber-physical system designed to control a smart farm. An overview of modern software technologies used to control Cyber-physical systems is presented. Communication technologies used in remote control systems and in particular, web technologies for data transition are considered. Modern platforms and software frameworks for realization of web services and provision of functions for remote control and monitoring have been studied. Based on the conducted research, a specialized model of Cyber-physical system has been developed and presented, which would meet the needs and criteria for management of smart farms. Based on the presented model, experiments were performed with different temperature sensors and humidity sensors. The results of the experiments show that the developed system has the necessary functionality and performance to cope with the tasks.

Cleaning process in animal husbyndries is of important meaning. Robotizing the process will contribute to improvement of the hygiene and reduce the human labour. In this paper, a mobile robot with a module for cleaning animal husbandry complexes has been developed and modeled in a 3D environment. Its constructive characteristics are presented and the individual systems that make it up are described. The principle of operation of the robot and the individual modules are described in detail. A robot teleoperation system has been developed.

The need of personal service robots has been increased in the past several years. The tasks assigned to the robots vary in complexity and degree of freedom. In order to assist senior citizens and people with disabilities with their day to day tasks, a greater degree of freedom is required – more autonomy, ability to fulfil more complex tasks and easier for use human-machine interface. In this paper we show some of the methods that can be implemented in personal service robots for object recognition and classification in order to achieve greater autonomy, hence greater degree of freedom.

The article aims to present a cyber–physical system (CPS) to support the cultivation of aquaculture in a closed aquaponic system using the deep-water culture (DWC) method. The CPS uses precision sensors as TriOxmatic 700 IQ (for dissolved oxygen and water temperature), AmmoLyt Plus 700 IQ (for ammonium), NiCaVis 701 IQ NI (for nitrites and nitrates), SensoLyt® 700 IQ (for pH), and SL-M5 (for water level). It is built with a Raspberry Pi 4, 8 GB as a server, OpenHAB 3.0 software, and other specialized software for measuring water parameters. Some of the parameters are maintained completely autonomously, while others are indirectly controlled. Basic knowledge of hydroponics and aquaculture is required to set up the system, but day-to-day maintenance can be carried out by employees who receive instructions from the CPS. A method for the physical modification of the fish tank surface by using laser processing is proposed. This results in a change in surface topography (creating diverse microstructure patterns) and its roughness, which is of crucial importance for the bacterial adhesion mechanism.
