IoT wearable device for estimating methane emissions in animal livestock systems

Proyecto: Investigación

Detalles del proyecto

Descripción

Burps will be absorbed and contained within a gas chamber located in the IoT wearable device (mask). Inside this chamber, nano-sensors will estimate the CH4 concentration. We propose to develop a custom designed MCU (microcontroller unit) including hardware modules to handle sensor signal processing and filtering and gas chamber ambient control, such as temperature and humidity. Also, we propose a HW module to detect and predict inertial motion associated to the cow¿s burp event, to trigger the electro-mechanical controller in charge of the methane absorption process. All data will be collected and managed by a sensor fusion algorithm in charge of data prediction and CH4 estimation. Inside the MCU, we propose to integrate an energy management module to allow extreme low power consumption. We proposed to include small solar sensors and batteries to power the entire IoT device. Communication modules will include LoRA, satellite or cellular antennas. All data will be concentrated into a dashboard in the cloud, allowing remote sensing and monitoring all the variables.
