In this paper, we introduce a nano aerial robot swarm for Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) monitoring applications such as occupational health and safety of (industrial) workplaces. The robotic swarm is composed of nano Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), based on the Crazyflie 2.0 quadrocopter, and small lightweight Metal Oxide (MOX) gas sensors for measuring the Total Volatile Organic Compound (TVOC), which is a measure for IAQ. An indoor localization and positioning system is used to estimate the absolute 3D position of the swarm similar to GPS. A test scenario was built up to validate and optimize the swarm for the intended applications. Besides calibration of the IAQ sensors, we performed experiments to investigate the influence of the rotor downwash on the gas measurements at different altitudes and compared them with stationary measurements. Moreover, we did a first evaluation of the gas distribution mapping performance. Based on this novel IAQ monitoring concept, new algorithms in the field of Mobile Robot Olfaction (MRO) are planned to be developed exploiting the abilities of an aerial robotic swarm.
This seminar series comprises three lectures on drones and ground robots capable of sensing chemical substances and two accompanying hands-on workshops on nano drones equipped with chemical sensors. In the first lecture, Dr. Neumann will talk on a summary of aerial robot olfaction and his research. In the second and third lectures, more details of the nano drones equipped with chemical sensors will be provided, and the participants can get hands on experience of the nano
drones in the accompanying workshops. The lectures will be given in English. This seminar series is supported by FY2023 Researcher Exchanges Program in UEC.
