3 http://www.robovolc.dees.unict.it ROBOVOLC : Project Abstract The main objective of this project is the development and trial of an automatic robotic system to explore and perform measurements in a volcanic environment. A major aim of the proposed robot will be that of minimizing the risk for volcanologists who are involved in work close to volcanic vents during eruptive phenomena. Observations of and measurement of the variables relating to volcanic activity are of greatest interest during paroxismal phases of eruptions, which unfortunately are also the time of greatest risk for humans.

4 http://www.robovolc.dees.unict.it Introduction Project Goal Project Objective Operational Goals Baseline Data Measure of Success Assessment and Evaluation

5 http://www.robovolc.dees.unict.it Project goal Enhance knowledge of the volcanic process to contribute to eruption forecasting Reduce the risk for volcanologists operating in proximity to volcanic vents Improve volcanic risk assessment

6 http://www.robovolc.dees.unict.it Project objectives Development and trial of an automatic robotic system capable of: –approaching an active volcanic vent –collecting samples of the volcanic products erupted –measuring physical and chemical data on the eruptive process –surveying close to vent openings

7 http://www.robovolc.dees.unict.it Operational Goals Development of a tele-operated robot able to approach to active volcanic vents. Development of a small measurement system for lava and volcanic gas analysis and sample collecting.

8 http://www.robovolc.dees.unict.it The Robot Suitable for autonomous / semi- autonomous exploration of natural irregular and extremely rough unstructured environments. Resistant to the high temperatures and contaminated atmosphere and to the impact of volcanic bombs and blocks.

9 http://www.robovolc.dees.unict.it The measurement system Sampling of volcanic gas, molten lava or rocks near the active vents Analysis of volcanic gas Measurement of gas and lava temperatures Measurement of physical parameters of the volcanic jets Measurement of physical parameters of the lava stream Determination of the volcanic vents morphology and topography

10 http://www.robovolc.dees.unict.it Baseline Data In the last decade alone, due to both the unpredictable timing and the magnitude of volcanic phenomena, several volcanologists have died surveying eruptions Several active volcanic areas are not accessible to human operators To date a robot for volcano exploration and measurement has never been implemented in an EC country

11 http://www.robovolc.dees.unict.it Measures of success Clear definition of user, general and specific requirements Detailed system specifications and design Fully functional robot prototype and measurement system Results of tests

12 http://www.robovolc.dees.unict.it Assessment and evaluation MS1 Common understanding of the user requirements and outline specification MS2 Consortium agree detailed specification and design scheme MS3 Consortium agree designs MS4 Results of tests agree with specification MS5 Demonstration in volcanic environment
