Compost Turner

Compost turners are machines used to mix and aerate compost piles, optimizing decomposition. Current research focuses on automating this process through autonomous systems, employing sensor integration, navigation modules, and control systems often based on model-based systems engineering and ROS (Robot Operating System). This automation aims to improve efficiency and address challenging working conditions in composting. The development of such autonomous systems also has broader implications for other applications requiring precise movement and control in dynamic environments, such as autonomous marine farming.
