Development of a mobile device for analyzing the concentration of natural gas on oil platforms in the Arctic

The Arctic has a large number of fossil hydrocarbons. Therefore, many states have a great interest in the circumpolar region. Most of the Arctic is a water surface, partially or completely covered with ice. For the extraction of hydrocarbons, experts build platforms. Gas leaks on the platform can cause an explosion that can cause great economic damage to the mining company. In some cases, there is a danger to human life. In this case, you can use a mobile robot. We have designed a mobile device that allows for reconnaissance in places where it is dangerous for a person to be. Primary tests showed the system performance.
