Concept scenario
Barn Interior Manure Gas (Ammonia/Methane) Monitoring and Ventilation Management
Scenario record: it defines the environment, the mission flow and a proposed hardware and software configuration. The list below is a configuration proposal, not an installation inventory. Field projects lists deployed systems and their measurements.
- Environment
- Outdoor field
- Operating mode
- Supervised autonomy
- Proposed robot
- Unitree A2
The problem addressed
Toxic gas accumulation in barns degrading animal health and personnel respiratory risks.
Draft mission flow
- 1The robot patrols between barn compartments; continuously measures NH₃, CH₄, H₂S, and CO₂ levels to create 3D gas map.
- 2Zones exceeding animal health thresholds identified; fan speed increase command sent to barn automation system.
- 3Emergency alarm triggered when methane accumulation approaches fire/explosion risk threshold.
- 4Daily air quality report transmitted to animal welfare monitoring portal; seasonal gas pattern analysis conducted.
Proposed hardware
- Multi-Gas Detector (NH₃/CH₄/H₂S/CO₂)
- Humidity/Temperature Sensor
- IP67 Protection
- LiDAR L2
Proposed software
- Navigation
- SLAM at safe distance from animals in barn compartments and paddocks
- Model
- Gas Concentration 3D Map and HVAC Fan Optimization Algorithm
- Integration
- Barn Automation System and Animal Welfare Monitoring Portal

Values are manufacturer data. Scenario fit is determined by comparing these limits with site conditions.
From scenario to installation
Feasibility is determined by the site survey: floor and route, network coverage, the charging point, intervention responsibilities and the conditions under which the robot must stop. The survey report defines the scope, the constraints and the commissioning steps.
