This project supports the design of a gas sensing system onboard the ClearPath® Robotics Husky mobile robot. The gas sensing system determines the spatial gradient of the gas and subsequently guides the mobile robot towards the gas source. The project also consisted of developing upon the work of earlier projects to build a gas dispersion setup which was used to test the sensing system. The Carbon Dioxide sensor system that was optimized by previous teams was placed on a 3D-printed stand. The work done by this project team will help advance the field of autonomous vehicles, especially relating to gas sensing.
