ABSTRACT: Land Sea Air Autonomy proposes the development of a tightly coupled 6 legged very-small unmanned-ground-vehicle (VSUGV) for micro-climate autonomous data recording.The proposed system will provide over 2 weeks ofmonitoring of local climatemeasurement such as wind, temperature as well as Oxygen, Carbon Dioxide and Amonia gas content. The system will be able to operate the robots as individuals or part of a swarm enabling the operator to easily set group level directions and behaviors.The system will be build using LSA2's flexible robust architecture and be able to leverage previously developed technologies such as path planning,obstacle detection and collision avoidance.; BENEFIT: Multiple commercial benefits are expected from the development of this technology ranging including:Wildlife preservationClimate monitoringChemical monitoringPerimeter and quarantine security
