industrial demands are growing, advanced technologies play a vital role in addressing complex challenges. This research proposes a novel solution: a remote-controlled multi-gas sensing drone. Built on the foundation of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs), this drone represents a significant breakthrough in environmental monitoring and industrial applications.

Researchers such as Shakya and Qu [1] have demonstrated the potential of UAVs for precision agriculture, ecology, and other environmental monitoring applications. Anderson and Gaston [2] have reviewed the progress and potential of drones in these fields, highlighting their ability to collect data in a safe and efficient manner. Hunt et al. [3] have shown how UAVs can be used to remotely estimate vegetation fraction, which can be used to assess crop health, monitor forest cover, and track changes in land use. Anderson and Gaston [4] have also reviewed the use of drones for wildlife modeling and monitoring, highlighting their ability to collect data on animal behavior, movement patterns, and habitat preferences.

The petroleum industry, which is essential to the global economy, faces environmental risks such as leaks, spills, and emissions. Effective gas emission monitoring, especially in remote or hazardous locations, is essential. Traditional methods often fall short. Environmental monitoring is also critical for understanding and mitigating climate change and human impacts. Drones have enhanced our ability to collect environmental data.

Nex et al. [5] have reviewed the use of UAVs for monitoring water quality parameters, such as turbidity, pH, and dissolved oxygen. Pflugmacher et al. [6] have examined the applications of UAVs in the forest industry, noting their use for tasks such as inventorying timber stands, detecting wildfires, and assessing the impact of logging operations. Sankaran et al. [7] have reviewed the advances in small unmanned aircraft system (sUAS) remote sensing for mapping and monitoring agricultural crops and weeds. Khodaei et al. [8] have provided a review of UAV photogrammetry for topographic modeling in environmental applications. Torres et al. [9] have reviewed the use of UAVs for monitoring marine environments, noting their use for tasks such as detecting oil spills, assessing coral reef health, and monitoring marine traffic. Colomina and Molina [10] have provided an overview of sensors and image processing methods for remote sensing with UAVs.

This research introduces a hybrid UAV-UGV drone equipped with advanced gas sensors. It can autonomously navigate complex terrain, inspect infrastructure, and detect gas emissions in real-time. The paper explores the technical aspects of the drone's design, sensor selection, and remote control integration. It also discusses potential applications, ranging from gas leak monitoring to comprehensive environmental surveys. In conclusion, the fusion of UAV and UGV technologies in this remote-based multi-gas sensing drone has the potential to revolutionize the petroleum industry and significantly improve environmental protection.
