“Smart Chemical Sensing Payload for Emergency Response Uncrewed Autonomous Systems” by Jacob M. Anderson and Kam K. Leang, ASME J. Auton. Veh. Sys. Oct 2025, 5(4): 041002 (10 pages), DOI: https://doi.org/10.1115/1.4069984 (Preprint version in PDF)
Smart handheld chemical-gas-source finding device for emergency response uncrewed autonomous (ground/air) vehicles to assist in the estimation and localization of chemical-gas leaks in (a) disaster response, (b) air quality monitoring in urban and suburban environments, (c) indoor chemical monitoring, and (d) industrial facility monitoring. The device can be integrated with uncrewed aerial and/or ground vehicles or handheld by emergency responders to optimally guide them to find leaks. A network of such devices can be used to create a static or mobile sensor network to expand coverage and enhance performance
