MESSAPI
MESSAPI – Environmental Monitoring with Robots and Drones
The Messapi project focuses on the development of an innovative, automated environmental monitoring system for industrial sites using autonomous ground robots and aerial drones.
The drones, equipped with advanced environmental sensors, will patrol the pilot industrial facility to detect any hazardous or toxic airborne substances. The project will be implemented at the IPLOM S.p.A. oil refinery in Busalla and includes:
- Deployment of an autonomous ground vehicle, equipped with instrumentation for mapping and detailed analysis of airborne gaseous components. This robot will integrate with the existing network of fixed sensors and environmental monitoring systems within the plant.
- Use of an autonomous aerial drone, potentially deployable from the ground vehicle and connected to the central control station, capable of collecting data from advanced sensors and performing aerial photogrammetry of industrial assets.
Data collected will be processed using computer vision techniques, combined with numerical dispersion modeling and artificial intelligence, creating a smart decision support system for the rapid identification of environmental anomalies.
PM_TEN’s Role:
PM_TEN is responsible for developing the dispersion and deposition model of monitored pollutants and integrating data from fixed sensors and drones, ensuring precise and reliable environmental monitoring.
