Abstract

This paper aims to describe the design and prototype of a ruggedized bio-inspired deployable sensor package applicable to different environments. Specifically, this paper focuses on emergency mine situations. There are various factors contributing to the hazards of an emergency mine environment, including the use of explosives, diesel equipment, and personnel working inside the mine; all of which generate gases that, in abundance, can be harmful to health. When deployed in an underground mining emergency, this package can collect real-time environmental data. It focuses on providing crucial real-time gas, temperature, and particle concentration data. This data is instrumental in improving autonomous path planning and making well-informed crisis management decisions, potentially saving lives in high-stress scenarios.
