This paper presents the experimental application of an autonomous mobile robot for gas leak detection in indoor environments. The application is focused to automatize a human-risky operation in indoor areas. The goal of the autonomous mobile robot is the localization of a toxic gas leak source. So, the mobile robot has to explore the whole area and perform an auto-localization procedure based on a SLAM method and a LIDAR sensor. The mobile robot measures gas concentration by using a photoionization detector. The experimentation was realized in a large indoor environment in a university facility with a simulated gas leak source. The combination of the results from the auto-localization procedure with the information of the sensors allows the estimation of the gas leak source location.
