Talpa - Autonomous Garden Dumper
Automation in agriculture is an exciting area with a lot of potential. In this project, we want to upgrade existing agricultural machines so that they can act autonomously and perform tasks. For this, we would like to automate a commercially available miniature tipping loader and have it perform various pick-and-place tasks. In this project, the miniature wheelbarrow is to be converted so that it can drive autonomously and meets all the necessary safety standards.
The interdisciplinary project thrives on the interaction of mechanical engineering, electrical engineering and computer science. It therefore prepares very well for work as a mechatronics engineer and also fits directly into the course content in the mechatronics bachelor's degree and the mechatronics master's degree. Students can also apply and deepen the knowledge they have acquired in the compulsory subjects "Systems Engineering" and "Advanced Robotics and Autonomous Mobile Systems" in a practical way.
