Gas Bots (ECE4007L03)

gases that will minimize the harmful impact on human health.

Currently, there is no device in the market that can be controlled by a remote user and provide

video and gas concentration feedback. Our device is a novel concept, which will be used by emergency

personnel during gas leaks to detect concentration levels without direct human involvement.

1.3 Background

There are several technologies that emergency personnel use to deal with gas leak, like cameras

and gas sensors. However, there are limitations to the capabilities of these technologies when used

independently. For example: security cameras give a limited and static view of the gas affected area. If

a warehouse or factory lacks cameras, then it would be cumbersome for the fire department to see if

someone is stuck or passed out inside the area. Furthermore, gas sensors require an individual to be

present in the affected area to operate the sensor and read the concentration levels. If the individual is

exposed to high concentration of carbon monoxide, it can lead to harmful effects on his/her health.

The Gas Bot will integrate these two technologies on an iRobot Create platform. This device

will allow the emergency team to combine the merits of a video feedback and continuous gas

concentration level measurements on an easily navigable device. It will also integrate a safety box that

will provide basic emergency equipment for people stuck in the gas-affected area. Currently, no device

in the market exists that combines these three different technologies. Such a device will aid the

emergency personnel to get a wider view of the affected area along with live feedback of concentration

levels that will prevent human exposure. Figure 1 shows a schematic of the Gas Bot and its

components.
