A grow field configured to support plant or crop cultivation, the grow field having a first end, a second end, a bottom surface and a boundary wall, a first reservoir proximate to the first end of the grow field, wherein the first reservoir is configured to produce a waste nutrient stream, a second reservoir proximate to the second end of the grow field, wherein the second reservoir is configured to act as a settling tank for the produced waste nutrient stream; an Artificial Intelligence (AI) unit in connection with the grow field, reservoirs for providing a feedback for improving a growth rate of the cultivated plants or crops; and a controller in communication with the AI unit for receiving and processing output signals from at least one sensor and sending an assessment of a plurality of monitored parameters to the AI unit, based on the processed output signals.

A device for picking up animal excrement includes a propulsion device for propelling the device, a pick-up device with a worm housing and a drivable conveyor worm arranged in the worm housing and which extends in a longitudinal direction to pick up animal excrement on the ground. The conveyor worm includes, along its longitudinal extent, a first conveyor section with a first conveying direction and a second conveyor section with a second conveying direction, and the second conveying direction runs counter to the first conveying direction. A collecting device collects the animal excrement picked up by the pick-up device, and the collecting device is connected to an outlet opening of the worm housing, arranged between the first and second conveyor section. The worm housing has a first pick-up opening in the region of the first conveyor section and a second pick-up opening in the region of the second conveyor section.

An in-vehicle carrier system comprising: a base floor assembly including: a floor surface including a liquid drain, a supporting channel below the floor surface and open to the liquid drain, a pedestal below the floor surface and coupled to the supporting channel; a first sidewall attached to the base floor assembly on the floor surface; a second sidewall attached to the base floor assembly on the floor surface; and a crossbar attached above the pedestal and connected to the first sidewall and the second sidewall.
