Agenda • Project Overview • Design Objectives • Challenges • Timeline • Future Work
Project Overview • Combines wireless robot navigation and live video • Detects and provides feedback of CO concentration • Allows emergency teams to respond to gas leaks • Reduces human exposure to CO gas • Provides relief materials to the affected • Costs $408.44
Design Objectives • Remote controlled robot • CO sensor interfaced with microcontroller • Webcam connectivity with eBox • Safety Kit for emergency
CO Gas Sensor • Parallax MQ-7 gas sensor • Changes resistance in proportion to CO gas • Transfers signal from MQ-7 gas sensor to microcontroller
Hardware challenges • CO sensor – Testing • Webcam – Spatial Orientation • Safety Kit – Dimensions
Software Challenges • Lack of Experience • eBox – Drivers for webcam • GUI
Future Work • Addition of more toxic gas sensors • Rearview camera • Faster Car (better platform)
