Sensor Fusion for Taste Sensor and Odor Sensor

Sensor fusion for taste sensor and odor sensor.

Recent research on a taste sensor stimulated the development of several kinds of sensing systems that have the ability to discriminate various tastes of beverages or foods. Most of these sensors involve the concept of global sensing, i.e. non-specifically detected signals are analyzed to extract the inherent taste characteristics (Toko, 1996). The sensor fusion technique extends the global sens...

Odor-Based Incontinence Sensor

A low-cost “artificial nose” is required to monitor incontinence of elderly patients in nursing homes. With the aim of identifying a small array of inexpensive sensors whose response vector could provide an unambiguous signature at a useful sensitivity level, we characterized the sensitivity of seven easily available solid-state sensors to fecal component gases and vapors, and to potential inte...

Sensor fusion

Sensor fusion is a method of integrating signals from multiple sources. It allows extracting information from several different sources to integrate them into single signal or information. In many cases sources of information are sensors or other devices that allow for perception or measurement of changing environment. Information received from multiple-sensors is processed using "sensor fusion...

A New Approach to Self-Localization for Mobile Robots Using Sensor Data Fusion

This paper proposes a new approach for calibration of dead reckoning process. Using the well-known UMBmark (University of Michigan Benchmark) is not sufficient for a desirable calibration of dead reckoning. Besides, existing calibration methods usually require explicit measurement of actual motion of the robot. Some recent methods use the smart encoder trailer or long range finder sensors such ...
