Odor Tracking with an Electronic Nose
[attachment=42678]
Problem Background
E-nose came about from trying to mimic the sense of smell in robots or machines.
E-nose beneficial because
Not fatigued
More sensitive
Research now is focused on putting an E-nose on a mobile robot
Problem Statement
Develop signal-processing procedures to reconstruct the changes in concentration of odor mixtures through the response of a gas sensor array.
Design Objective
Create three modules
E-nose module
Diffusion module
Robot Simulator
Replace E-nose module with provided dilution system to test with real sensor responses.
Survey of Literature, Market, and Existing Solutions
Many researches about odor tracking robot
Spiral Surge Localization algorithm
Conducting polymer-based odor sensor
Odor-guided locomotion – Dr.Mark Willis
