| Abstract |
Smart robotic devices have emerged as a promising solution for automated environmental monitoring that addresses the limitations of traditional monitoring methods. We present a novel smart robotic device that integrates advanced mobility, energy management, data processing, and sensor modularity. The device features a robust chassis structure that supports a terrain-adaptive mobility assembly, a 360-degree rotational modular sensor arm, an onboard data processing unit, and a power management system with a rechargeable battery and a solar panel assembly. This integrated approach enables continuous, real-time data collection and analysis in diverse and challenging environments. The modular design of the device facilitates rapid customization and upgrades to meet specific monitoring needs, ensuring versatility and extended service life. We discuss the key components of the device, their interactions, and the advantages of this integrated approach for environmental monitoring applications. © 2025 IEEE. |
