A Hybrid Edge Cloud Digital Twin for Welfare-Constrained Control in Poultry Production

The paper presents a hybrid edge‑cloud digital twin for welfare‑constrained environmental control in poultry farms. It combines distributed sensing, on‑device state estimation, a physics‑based thermodynamic model with a learned residual, and model predictive control to adaptively manage temperature and ammonia levels. Experiments in a broiler testbed show significant improvements: temperature prediction error drops from 1.8 °C to 0.4 °C, ammonia violations fall by 90 %, and communication needs are reduced 30‑fold, with a Domain Transfer Score of 0.92 indicating strong cross‑facility robustness.

Deploying and Evaluating a Smart-Agriculture Agentic Engine for Full-Season Soybean Farm Operations

The paper introduces FAIRY, a full-stack smart‑agriculture agent system deployed on a soybean research farm at Harbin Institute of Technology. FAIRY executes and evaluates end‑to‑end agronomic operations—from ridge preparation to storage—using an event‑driven world model that integrates machinery, sensors, drones, satellite data, weather, crop models, and historical yields. The system implements a comprehensive agentic stack and is used to benchmark nine state‑of‑the‑art agent controllers across 100 full‑season soybean scenarios, assessing success, spatiotemporal correctness, token cost, and edge‑device runtime.

Autonomous Model Lifecycle Management for Digital Twin-Based Manufacturing Control

The paper introduces a closed‑loop cyber‑physical system for autonomous model lifecycle management in automotive manufacturing, deployed since 2023. It manages paired physics and reinforcement‑learning models, selecting the best candidate through competitive retraining cycles and a Conductor orchestrator that handles plant‑wide inventories and fallback controls. The system incorporates an operator‑trust gate that rejects 23% of policies that deviate from established practice, achieving 28‑45% process stability improvements with no safety incidents.
