This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CFDA 47.070) program provides $451,000 in funding to Clemson University to develop a networked cyber-physical system (CPS) for controlled-environment agriculture (CEA). The key objectives are to reduce energy consumption and costs while optimizing crop production efficiency in CEA facilities. The project will integrate advanced data analytics, renewable energy, and energy storage technologies to create a self-adapting, autonomous CEA system. Specific innovations include: (1) integrating photosynthesis models with real-time biophysical measurements to optimize environmental parameters; (2) using AI-guided image and sensor data analytics for automated crop growth monitoring; (3) deploying robot-assisted data collection using novel control approaches; and (4) developing stochastic control tools to manipulate environmental conditions to facilitate photosynthesis. This interdisciplinary effort aims to address fundamental challenges in complex CEA systems and enable a paradigm shift towards fully autonomous, net-zero-energy CEA. The project will also integrate the research into educational curricula and engage with K-12 schools and CEA growers to promote technology adoption.
