4. Design Approach and Details
4.1 Design Approach
The main priority of the Gas Bot is to safely and reliably collect and transfer gas concentration
levels. The Gas Bot is designed to prevent human exposure to toxic gases in harsh environments. The
robotic components used for this setup include: a web cam, carbon monoxide sensor, a Phidgets/pic board,
an eBox, and an iRobot. The CO sensor will be integrated with either the Phidgets board or pic board,
