Abstract
A sensor system includes an unmanned vehicle system is provided that includes a housing, and an environmental sensor system coupled to the housing, the environmental sensor system configured to detect one or more environmental conditions of an environment in operational contact with the unmanned vehicle system. The environmental sensor includes a sensing element that includes a sensing material to detect and quantify at least one analyte gas by measuring impedance of the sensing element at one or more frequencies of the different frequencies during exposure of the sensing material to the at least one analyte gas. A control unit includes one or more processors coupled with the environmental sensor and configured to receive a detector signal from the detector circuit of the environmental sensor indicative of the one or more environmental conditions, and control the movement of the unmanned vehicle system based on an operation signal of a remote device, instructions received at a vehicle controller, the detector signal, or in response to detected route conditions.
