Description of Invention
The development of an autonomous poisonous gas detector drone is a crucial advancement in environmental monitoring, industrial safety, and disaster response. Poisonous gases, such as carbon monoxide (CO), hydrogen sulfide (H₂S), ammonia (NH₃), chlorine (Cl₂), and volatile organic compounds (VOCs), pose significant risks to human health and the environment. Conventional gas detection methods rely on fixed sensors or manual inspections, which can be hazardous and inefficient. The integration of drone technology with advanced gas sensors and artificial intelligence (AI) presents a transformative solution for real-time gas detection and monitoring in inaccessible or high-risk areas.This study proposes a multi-rotor drone equipped with a compact gas sensing module, GPS, real-time data transmission, and AI-based analytics to enhance detection accuracy and operational efficiency. The drone is designed to autonomously navigate through a designated area, collect atmospheric data, and identify the concentration and type of toxic gases present. A key component of the system is its lightweight, high-sensitivity gas sensors, which use electrochemical, metal oxide semiconductor, or infrared absorption technologies to detect various hazardous gases with precision. These sensors are integrated with a microcontroller and communication module to transmit data to a ground station for real-time analysis.
