Abstract
ANTS (Active-sensing Networks and Telexistence System) is an integrative system that can measure and control the environment in the plant factory Recently, the plants factory is attracting attention due to the influence of the natural and human disaster. Conventional measurement and control systems in the plant factory are not enough because these systems are expensive, old and large. We propose the ANTS for plant factory. The features of this system are digital and network system, small size/low cost, adaptive/tolerant, open source hardware, active sensing and telexistence. In this paper, we show a system requirement, configuration and prototype.
