Team 13: Methane-Sensing Autonomous Rover System
Landfill methane emissions are a significant contributor to climate change. Currently, landfills are required to conduct Surface Emission Monitoring which is costly and infrequent. Team 13 has designed an autonomous rover that utilizes a rocker-bogie suspension, GPS waypoint navigation, and the HAQLab SEM sensor to traverse harsh terrain and accurately monitor emissions in place of humans.
