• Abstract: The imperative to develop more sustainable agriculture demands a transition from isolated automation toward the deployment of multi-robot systems (MRS) in agrifood environments. However, Mediterranean greenhouse settings-characterized by narrow corridors, dense biomass, and structural metallic interference-pose significant challenges for robust and scalable communication between agents. Traditional robotic frameworks, such as ROS 2, frequently encounter node discovery issues and latency spikes due to dynamic obstacles, dense foliage, and other characteristic greenhouse elements, creating a critical bottleneck for real-time coordination. This paper proposes an innovative cloud-based hybrid architecture that establishes a two-way communication bridge between ROS 2, acting as an edge computing platform, and iVeg as a Decision Support System (DSS), using MQTT and the European FIWARE platform. The proposed framework enables seamless interoperability between fleets of multiple robots in environments with communication constraints, facilitating the synchronised exchange of high-level telemetry, point cloud data and farmer identification for collaboration, amongst other critical data. The architecture was validated in a high-fidelity simulation environment and subsequently tested in a real-world greenhouse scenario, demonstrating its ability to maintain persistent connectivity and data integrity under adverse network conditions. The results indicate that the integration of MQTT effectively eliminates information silos, providing a scalable and decentralised solution for managing complex robotic missions, which are executed locally via Edge Computing. This work sets a new methodological precedent for the concept of Greenhouse Models as a Service (GMaaS), bridging the gap between low-level robotic control and high-level, cloud-based IoT decision-making.

  We present an end-to-end online motion planning framework that uses a data-driven approach to navigate a heterogeneous robot team towards a global goal. We use model predictive control (SMPC) to calculate control inputs that satisfy robot dynamics, and consider uncertainty during obstacle avoidance with chance constraints. recurrent neural networks are used to provide a quick estimate of future state uncertainty considered in the SMPC finite-time horizon solution. A Deep Q-learning agent is employed to serve as a high-level path planner, providing the SMPC with target positions that move the robots towards a desired global goal.
