Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus for a multi-modal gas sensing system including a set of multi-modal gas sensor modules, where each module includes multiple gas sensors that are sensitive to a respective set of analytes. The set of modules are provided to a receptacle configured to receive modules including a gas manifold in fluidic contact with each of the modules, and a data processing apparatus in data communication with each module received by the receptacle. A sampling sequence is configured for the set of modules based in part on a set of analytes of interest representative of a test environment. A test gas is provided in turn to a first proper subset and a second proper subset of the modules and a first set and a second set of response data are collected, where the first and second sets of response data are provided as training data to a machine-learned model.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus for configuring a multi-modal gas sensor array that includes multiple gas sensors. The multiple gas sensors include a first type of gas sensor and a second, different type of gas sensor. A test gas is provided to the gas sensors, where the test gas includes known analytes. Data generated by each of the gas sensors in response to the known analytes in the test gas is collected. A proper subset of gas sensors is selected to include in an optimized gas sensor array, based on the responses of the gas sensors to the known analytes in the test gas meeting a threshold response and meeting a threshold temporal response. The multi-modal gas sensor array is configured using the proper subset of gas sensors.

Abstract: An autonomous submersible structure includes a cage for protecting cargo contained within a volume of the cage, two or more independently operated propellers, and a raised platform. The raised platform includes a plurality of sensors and computers that detect at least one of: water quality, water pressure, or objects in the vicinity of the cage. The raised platform includes a navigating system that controls a direction of travel of the cage based on feedback provided by the plurality of sensors and computers, and a power generator that provides power to the sensors, the navigating system, and the feeding mechanism. The autonomous submersible structure includes a ballast for counterbalancing the weight of the raised platform, wherein the navigating system controls the two or more independently operated propellers to alter the direction of travel of the cage, and wherein the raised platform is environmentally sealed and a portion of the raised platform is positioned above water level.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus for a camera-enhanced multi-modal gas sensing apparatus including a camera configured to capture imaging data including at least a portion of a test environment including the gas sensing apparatus and an object of interest within the field of view of the camera, multiple gas sensors including a first type of gas sensor and a second type of gas sensor different from the first type of gas sensor which are each sensitive to a respective set of analytes, a housing configured to hold the multiple gas sensors, a gas inlet coupled to the housing and configured to expose the multiple gas sensors to a gas introduced from the test environment via the gas inlet, and a data processing apparatus in data communication with the multiple gas sensors and the camera.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes receiving data from one or more sensors that detect one or more environmental parameters associated with an autonomous submersible structure, determining one or more navigation parameters based on the one or more environmental parameters and one or more viability profiles associated with cargo contained within the autonomous submersible structure and that specify constraints on the one or more environmental parameters, and controlling, based on the one or more navigation parameters, a propulsion system of the autonomous submersible structure.
