A1 - Bartholmai, Matthias T1 - Monitoring of CCS areas using micro unmanned aerial vehicles (MUAVs) N2 - Carbon capture & storage (CCS) is one of the most promising technologies for greenhouse gas (GHG) management. However, an unsolved issue of CCS is the development of appropriate long-term monitoring systems for leak detection of the stored CO2. To complement already existing monitoring infrastructure for CO2 storage areas, and to increase the granularity of gas concentration measurements, a quickly deployable, mobile measurement device is needed. In this paper, we present an autonomous gas-sensitive micro-drone, which can be used to monitor GHG emissions, more specifically, CO2. Two different measurement strategies are proposed to address this task. First, the use of predefined sensing trajectories is evaluated for the task of gas distribution mapping using the micro-drone. Alternatively, we present an adaptive strategy, which suggests sampling points based on an artificial potential field (APF). The results of real-world experiments demonstrate the feasibility of using gas-sensitive micro-drones for GHG monitoring missions. Thus, we suggest a multi-layered surveillance system for CO2 storage areas.

Robots of various forms and sizes have become essential tools for data collection in environmental research. Mobile Robot Olfaction (MRO) involves mobile robots equipped with gas sensors and requires the integration of multiple disciplines, including signal processing, machine perception, autonomous navigation, and pattern recognition. Common applications of MRO include mapping gas distributions, locating and detecting gas sources, and tracking gas plumes. Aerial Robot Olfaction (ARO) is a specialized branch of MRO that adapts these concepts to aerial robots, addressing the challenges of airborne gas sensing. This presentation highlights recent developments and results from ongoing research projects in MRO and ARO, with a focus on real-world deployment scenarios and the challenges encountered in practice.
