The authors developed the concept of a resource - saving robotic greenhouse complex for growing tomatoes under the control of a single operator. Special attention in this concept is paid to the use of mobile transport robots and mobile robots with manipulators for the operations of placing cassettes with seedlings, forming a bush and collecting fruits. As energy sources for the greenhouse, it is proposed to use alternative sources in conjunction with gasfired electric generators and stations for the production of biogas. The economic aspects of full automation of the greenhouse complex are also considered.
