Gas Bots (ECE4007L03)

Gas Bots

1. Introduction

There is a need for a device that can detect the concentration of toxic gases and provide primary

assistance in case of a chemical leak. Such a device should be able to enter gas leak affected areas,

provide live video footage and send gas concentration levels wirelessly to a remote personal computer.

The cost of developing the prototype of such a device is $408.44.

1.1 Objective

The objective of the Gas Bot is to detect concentration of toxic gases like carbon monoxide in

places affected by gas leaks. The Gas Bot will be equipped with a camera and a gas sensor. The Gas

Bot will be controlled wirelessly by a remote user. The camera will wirelessly stream live video to the

controller for navigation purposes. The gas sensor will be able to send gas concentration data to the

remote user. Additionally, a safety box will be installed on the Gas Bot that will contain emergency

assistance materials like gas masks and walkie-talkies for individuals stuck in the affected area. The

Gas Bot will primarily be used by fire departments, chemical factories, warehouses and environmental

health and safety organizations.

1.2 Motivation

Carbon monoxide (CO) is a highly hazardous and toxic gas. Short term exposure to CO can

lead to hypoxic injury and neurological damage. Long term exposure to high concentration of CO can

even lead to death. Approximately, more than 15,000 people seek medical attention for carbon

monoxide poisoning every year [1]. On average, 500 people in US die every year from Carbon

Monoxide poisoning [1]. Hence, there is a strong need for a device that assists in detection of such
