Abstract
The idea of indoor agriculture has been around for a while, but its feasibility and efficiency can be taken to the next level by leveraging networked sensors and actuators. Today, people are getting used to the idea of autonomous cars. Soon, or so we think, "autonomous farms" will become normalcy, too. In line with the concept of the "smart fridge" -- an appliance that keeps track of what's inside of it -- it is conceivable to have an appliance that grows you lettuce! Before we get there, however, a lot of work is still to be done. We have started taking the first steps toward cost-effective, modular, and heterogeneous controlled environments for the indoor cultivation of crops. We demonstrate a pH-regulating nutrient dosing system that is built up out of accessors and prototyped in Ptolemy II.
