UAV And UGV-Based Remote Multi-Gas Sensing for the Petroleum Industry and Environmental Monitoring

The integration of UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) and UGVs (Unmanned Ground Vehicles) for remote multi-gas sensing represents a significant advancement in monitoring applications for the petroleum industry and environmental safety. This project aims to design and implement a system that utilizes UAVs for aerial gas detection and UGVs for ground-based sensing, providing a comprehensive solution for real-time monitoring of hazardous gases such as methane, carbon dioxide, and volatile organic compounds. The proposed system will enhance safety by offering rapid, flexible, and scalable detection in hard-to-reach or high-risk areas. By combining the mobility of UAVs with the precision of UGVs, this technology enables effective, continuous monitoring of oil fields, refineries, and surrounding environments. This dual-platform approach not only improves operational efficiency but also supports environmental sustainability by ensuring early detection of potential hazards, minimizing human exposure, and aiding in timely responses to gas leaks or pollution events.
