Team 19: Autonomous Methane Monitoring Rover
Abstract
Addressing the need for frequent landfill methane monitoring, Team 19 designed a fully autonomous rover equipped with HAQ Lab's methane sensing package, terrain navigation, and obstacle avoidance, complemented by a solar-powered rover house for charging. The project builds on current monitoring attempts by minimizing human interfacing, increasing safety and frequency of methane scans in landfills.
