Environmental Monitoring Robot

A robotics system that collects and transmits live sensor readings from locations that are awkward or unsafe to visit.

Environmental data in remote spots gets collected by hand, rarely and inconsistently, so trends are invisible until they are problems.

Built a mobile sensor platform on a Raspberry Pi with air, temperature and humidity sensors, and a telemetry link that pushes readings back on an interval.

Hardware punishes optimism. Power budget and weather sealing shaped the design far more than the software ever did.
