Abstract Legged machines that can adapt to off-road conditions and irregular terrain, have a number of advantages over traditional wheeled and tracked vehicles. In particular, in agriculture, they cause the least damage to the soil, in comparison with wheeled and tracked vehicles, due to the discrete track on the ground. Meanwhile, attaining to increase productivity of agricultural machines leads to an increase of machine weight that cause increased soil pressure and unfavorable conditions for plant growth. Various designing concepts of legged robots have been proposed by research teams by now

Abstract Aquaponics is a vertical farming technique and an integrated production of fish and hydroponic crops with recirculation of the aquaculture effluent used by the plant as fertilizer. This technique offers high water efficiency, a faster growth rate, and high crop yields. Despite all the advantages offered by this technology, its implementation on a commercial scale is hindered by many technical and economic factors, which can be addressed by integrating smart technologies, automation, and control. Together with the landmark technologies of Industry 4.0, such as robotics, artificial
