Design and implementation of Internet of Things-enabled long-range autonomous surveillance bot for LPG leak detection and environmental safety monitoring

Abstract

Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) accidents pose significant safety risks, requiring continuous monitoring and Internet of Things (IoT) technology to prevent gas leakage and ensure human safety. This work proposes distributed field-oriented IoT gas sensing robots for detecting dangerous flammable gases like Ammonia, Sulphur Dioxide, Nitrogen Dioxide, and Carbon Dioxide. The SnoLURk solution enables cost-effective IoT gas leak detection in indoor and outdoor robots using budget-friendly casings and sensors. The study also discusses a robotic system for gas leak detection, aiming to detect and combat burglary using ZigBee and GSM modules. Cloud support allows Wi-Fi zone residents to receive alerts and send investigators via email, enabling remote data analytics monitoring. The IoT-based Worker's Health Monitoring System improves health and safety practices in industrial environments by monitoring workers' health 24/7. It allows on-site and off-site monitoring, enabling quick intervention and avoiding complications. The system's applications include construction, mining, manufacturing, and healthcare. Future versions may include improved sensors and machine learning.
