碩士 === 中原大學 === 電機工程研究所 === 106 === The main purpose of this research is to design an autonomous mobile robot that can navigate around an indoor environment to provide information about the particulate matter 2.5 (PM¬2.5) concentration on the environment. Also, the mobile robot is equipped with an air filtering device that would operate whenever there is high concentration of the particulate matter. Moreover, the robot would provide a map of the concentricity of particulate matter inside the indoor environment which would give the operators about ideas where are the ideal places or the hazardous places with high concentration of PM2.5. The mobile robot also has a capability to navigate around and filter the air intelligently to decrease the battery consumption. The map of the concentration of PM2.5 will be displayed on the remote computer that controls the operation of the autonomous mobile robot automatically. As a result, the system is fully autonomous and the requirement of having a human operator to avoid the hazardous effects of the particulate matter to humans is no longer required.
