1. A method for monitoring air quality of an area as experienced by an individual, the method comprising:
- disposing an air quality sensor module on a movable platform;
configuring the movable platform to autonomously traverse the area at a speed and stop and start rate consistent with that of the individual; and
utilizing the air quality sensor to take at least one air quality measurement at a height from the ground consistent with that of the individual while the movable platform is traversing the area.

Abstract
A robotic sensor measures air quality characteristics as experienced by a toddler, such as a child of six to twelve months in age. The robot includes an air quality sensor, a terrain drive train, a sensor drive train and a control circuit that controls the terrain drive train and the sensor drive train. The control circuit directs the terrain drive train to traverse an area at a speed and a start and stop rate consistent with that of a child and directs the sensor drive train to control the monitoring height at which the air quality sensor measures the air quality characteristic in a manner consistent with that of the child.
