Mobile robotic laboratory - UNT Lab

The project envisages the creation of an experimental concept of a self-propelled laboratory - UNTLab. In crisis situations, it is necessary to examine the quality (contamination) and composition of the air (soil) in a room or on an open field. The UNTLab self-propelled platform, which was implemented at UNION Nikola Tesla University, Faculty of Information Technologies, will be used without risking human resources. In the current (first) phase of realization, UNTLab is equipped with ten sensors that provide information on temperature, pressure and air humidity, substrate temperature, gas concentration (carbon oxides, propane C3H8, butane C4H10, ammonia...), intensity of EM and UV radiation as and light intensity. In addition to the sensor group, a high-resolution Wi-Fi camera is also installed. All collected data from the sensor group is recorded on a micro SD card. The platform has an additional possibility related to mobility, it is equipped with mecanum wheels, which enables great maneuverability, which also includes holonomic movement. Control of the UNTLab platform is performed via mobile devices, Android application, bluetooth communication or wi-fi network.
