Produkce jedlého hmyzu představuje dynamicky se rozvíjející odvětví zemědělství reagující na rostoucí globální poptávku po udržitelných zdrojích proteinů pro krmivářské i potravinářské využití. S objemem produkce vznikají požadavky na standardizaci kvality, welfare a ekonomickou efektivitu, přičemž roste význam technologických nástrojů umožňujících automatizaci a digitalizaci chovných procesů (např. pomocí technologie Internetu věcí a algoritmů umělé inteligence). Cílem příspěvku je popsat současné možnosti využití IoT a AI v produkci jedlého hmyzu a technologické přístupy k senzorickému monitoringu chovného prostředí, sledování biologických parametrů produkce a automatizovanému řízení mikroklimatických podmínek, dále využití algoritmů umělé inteligence v oblasti obrazové analýzy a predikci produkčních ukazatelů ve vztahu ke kvalitě výsledných produktů.
