• Abstract: Dust in agriculture presents a significant challenge for autonomous agricultural machinery. Dust can impair the performance of sensors and algorithms. This work, therefore, presents a concept for a proving ground consisting of an indoor and outdoor area. The indoor area comprises a laboratory test bench where dust circulates in a closed system and a test hall where life-size objects can be placed. The outdoor area features dedicated test setups that enable reproducible data to be recorded with and without dust during real-world agriculture work. The proving ground and the setups are visualized in 3D.
