Aquaculture farming is a fast-growing sector, but the adoption of advanced technologies such as robotics and IoT has been limited. This paper discusses the HAUCS IoT framework, which aims to revolutionize pond aquaculture. The latest developments in the HAUCS mobile sensing platform and field deployment are presented, along with the development of a novel robotic extension subsystem to improve the system's functionality.
While robotics have been widely used in many agricultural practices such as harvesting, seeding, cattle monitoring, etc., aquaculture farming is an important, fast-growing sector of agriculture that has not seen significant adoption of advanced technologies such as robotics and the Internet of Things (IoT). In particular, dissolved oxygen (DO) monitoring, a practice in pond aquaculture essential to the health of the fish crops, remains labor-intensive and time-consuming. The Hybrid Aerial Underwater robotiCs System (HAUCS) is an IoT framework that aims to bring transformative changes to pond aquaculture. This paper focuses on the latest development in the HAUCS mobile sensing platform and field deployment. To address some shortcomings with the current implementation, the development of a novel rigid Kirigami-based robotic extension subsystem that can expand the functionality of the HAUCS platform is also being discussed.
