| contents | This preprint presents the current status of research into the development and application of an autonomous, self-driving compost turner. The aim is to overcome challenges in the composting industry, such as adverse working conditions, by automating the composting process. The preprint provides a comprehensive overview of the overall concept of the self-driving compost turner, including the hardware architecture with sensors, navigation module and control module. In addition, the methodical development of the architecture of concepts, models and their subsequent software integration in ROS using model-based systems engineering is described. The validation and verification of the overall system is carried out in an industrial environment using three scenarios. The capabilities of the compost turner are demonstrated by autonomously following predefined trajectories in the composting plant and performing the required composting tasks. The results show that the autonomous compost turner is capable of performing the required activities. In addition, the compost turner has intelligent processing capabilities for compost data as well as its transmission, visualization and storage in a cloud server. It is important to note that this work is a preprint that represents the current state of research. The authors aim to publish the full paper in a peer-reviewed journal in the near future. |
