To expand the capabilities and potential applications of the backpack system, additional sensors and functionalities can be integrated. One possible addition could be a thermal imaging camera, which can provide valuable data for environmental monitoring, wildlife tracking, and search and rescue operations. Integrating a gas sensor can enable the detection of air quality parameters, making the system useful for environmental studies and pollution monitoring.
Furthermore, incorporating a LiDAR system with higher resolution and range capabilities can enhance the 3D mapping and navigation capabilities of the platform. Adding a weather station sensor can provide real-time weather data, allowing for more comprehensive environmental analysis during data collection. Additionally, integrating a communication module such as a satellite modem can enable remote data transmission and real-time monitoring, expanding the system's reach and usability in remote areas.
