Design and Implementation of a Mobile Robot for Carbon Monoxide Monitoring

摘要

The gas detection problem is relevant to many real-world applications, such as leak detection in industrial settings and landfill monitoring. The mobile robot used for gas detection has several advantages and can reduce danger for humans. In this study, we proposed an integration system for a mobile robot that can be used for carbon monoxide (CO) monitoring with different operating temperatures. The design and implementation of a mobile robot system that proposed consists of the onboard and ground stations. The proposed system can read CO gas concentration and temperature then send it wirelessly using an XBee module to the ground station. This system was also able to receive the command from the ground station to move the robot. The system provided real-time acquisition data that believed can be a useful tool for monitoring and can be applied for various purposes. The experimental results show that a combination of a mobile robot and environmental sensors can be used for environmental monitoring.
