Gas Bots (ECE4007L03)
Executive Summary
The Gas Bot will allow emergency response teams to detect and measure the toxicity levels of
carbon monoxide (CO) wirelessly and will provide assistance to those trapped in the toxic area. With
the attached camera, the controller will receive live video feed that will allow the user to navigate the
affected area. The onboard gas sensors will send gas concentration values to the remote computer that
will allow the user to identify areas of high toxicity. The safety kit will encompass first aid materials to
help people trapped inside the leak. The eBox (Model Number: 3300/3310) acts as the hub of the Gas
Bot where all the information is accumulated and processed on a Windows CE 6.0 platform. The
sensor and the camera will be connected using a Universal Serial Bus (USB) wire to the eBox. Both
these devices will send data via the USB to the eBox. Using the Wi-Fi card present in the eBox,
information will be sent to the controller. The gas sensor will be interfaced to the eBox via a
programmable controller (Phidgets) board. A graphical user interface (GUI) based software will be
programmed using C#. This software will enable the user to wirelessly control the Gas Bot and read
the concentration levels. The Gas Bot is expected to weigh approximately 3.5 kilograms and measure
13.4" diameter x 6" height. This makes the Gas Bot a small sized and portable device. The Gas Bot
will cost $408.44. This device will reduce the rescuer’s exposure to toxic gases and will also be able to
provide timely assistance to those in need.
