Gas distribution mapping of multiple odour sources using a mobile robot
Mobile olfactory robots can be used in a number of relevant application areas where a better understanding of a gas distribution is needed, such as environmental monitoring and safety and security related fields. In this paper we present a method to integrate the classification of odours together with gas distribution mapping. The resulting odour map is then correlated with the spatial informat...
متن کاملGas Distribution Mapping and Gas Source Localisation with a Mobile Robot
This thesis addresses two fundamental problems concerning the application of electrochemical gas sensors on a mobile robot in a real world environment: gas distribution mapping and localisation of a static gas source. Apart from the limitations of current sensor technology, the main difficulty for both of these tasks results from the spreading of gases under natural conditions. Diffusion plays ...
متن کاملMultiple Sensor Indoor Mapping Using a Mobile Robot
Introduction Mapping – the ability for a robot to observe and build a representation of its environment – is a critical task for mobile robots. Indeed, mapping is a necessary component of autonomous navigation, in addition to perception and localization. Mapping is achieved by measuring the environment with sensors, such as laser, sonar, or visual-based techniques, and using probabilistic model...
متن کاملSensing Odour Sources in Indoor Environments Without a Constant Airflow by a Mobile Robot
A mobile robot with gas sensors commonly denoted as ’electronic nose’ enables some interesting applications including the development of an ’electronic watchman’ that is able to detect and localize odour sources. This paper describes the assembly of a mobile odour sensing system and presents investigations on its practical operation in an indoor environment without a constant airflow1. Lacking ...
متن کاملUsing a Mobile Robot for Cognitive Mapping
When animals (including humans) first explore a new environment, what they remember is fragmentary knowledge about the places visited. Yet, they have to use such fragmentary knowledge to find their way home. Humans naturally use more powerful heuristics while lower animals have shown to develop a variety of methods that tend to utilize two key pieces of information, namely distance and orientat...
