Mobile Environmental Sensing Platform for Autonomous Environmental Data Acquisition Introduction: The earth has many different surfaces, each with their own properties. To accurately sense the complex heterogeneity in the environment, a vast array of sensor groups or a mobile sensing platform is needed. A mobile sensing unit can sense a multitude of different areas within a short period of time with less hassle. Goal: Develop an autonomous robotic sensing system for data sampling of environment.
2
Requirements: Autonomous operation with option for manual control Ability to change direction Run off batteries Enclosure for electronics/battery Sensor mounts that provide optimum operation of sensors Rugged construction/ rough terrain capability Distance detection sensors to avoid collisions with walls, etc. Ideal Design Functions: Telescoping Arm GPS based geo-referencing Crash proof autonomous control Solar panel incorporated to charge battery Wireless data connection for data retrieval from rover
3
Approach: Develop rugged sensing platform. Platform will contain enclosure, sensor mounts, electronics, micro- controller. Develop propulsion/steering system that can be incorporated into platform or be used as a modular drive train for platform Define sensing tasks for rover. Rover will autonomously move in certain environment or using adaptive sensing algorithm will move to areas of unusual/new sensing parameters. Deploy in environment
