Students of University Polytechnic, Aligarh Muslim University, have developed “Climatron 1A,” a drone-based environmental monitoring system designed to assess air quality and detect hazardous gases in inaccessible or unsafe areas.

The project has been developed by final-year Diploma students of Electronics and Communication Engineering, including Kamran Firdous, Mohammad Ali, Mohd Shahzeb, Sohaib Akhtar and Mohd Monish, under the mentorship of Dr Tanveer Hasan, Associate Professor, and Prof Mujeeb Ahmad Ansari, Principal, with technical guidance from alumni Saubaan Ahmad Siddiqui and Anas Khan.

The drone is equipped with sensors to monitor Air Quality Index (AQI), greenhouse gases, hazardous and flammable gases, temperature and air pressure. It transmits real-time environmental data to mobile devices every two seconds and also features autonomous mission capability and instant gas spike alerts.

Developed as a low-cost and portable solution, the system is intended for use in disaster-hit zones, mining areas and gas leak-prone locations where conventional monitoring systems may face limitations. According to the developers, field testing conducted across the AMU campus demonstrated reliable performance under different environmental conditions.

The project was showcased during the Electronics Engineering Section exhibition at University Polytechnic and received appreciation from Pro Vice Chancellor Prof Mohd Mohsin Khan for its practical utility and innovation. “Climatron 1A” was also awarded the Best Project Prize at the exhibition.

The team plans to further improve the system by integrating advanced sensors, developing a customised ground control station application and incorporating AI-based features for enhanced monitoring accuracy.
