Odor Guided Exploration and Plume Tracking - Particle Plume Explorer
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a new algorithm for single robot odor exploration called Particle Plume Explorer. This algorithm is supported by a novel point cloud based plume mapping method called Particle Plume also presented here. The developed algorithm was validated through extensive real world experiments on multiple environments using a single robot equipped with a gas sensor.

Mobile Robot Odor Plume Tracking using Three Dimensional Information
—This paper studies the utilization of data gathered from multiple gas sensors placed vertically on a wheeled mobile robot to perform plume tracking strategies. The main research questions to be answered are if is this advantageous and if so, trying to quantify that advantage in terms of plume tracking over traditional two dimensional plume acquisition. This was accomplished by testing a few we...
متن کاملReview on: Odor Localization Robot Aspect and Obstacles
Since 1982, creature Olfaction system has attracted researchers to do the similar system. Although the olfaction system is still a mystery for humans but the initial step built successfully with the term of E_Nose. Extended application of E_Nose opens a new gate for researchers. This topic which is called odor localization, caused lots of affording for scientists to hire the robot and explorer ...
متن کاملChemical Plume Tracking Behavior in Animals and Mobile Robots
The most important and challenging feat of navigation for many animals is locating important resources by tracking fluid-borne chemicals. As molecules of a source dissolve into flowing air or water they form a patchy turbulent plume which results in the intermittent stimulation required by many odor tracking animals. Most animals need two pieces of information to track a plume: (1) the presence...
متن کاملFine-scale patterns of odor encounter by the antennules of mantis shrimp tracking turbulent plumes in wave-affected and unidirectional flow.
Many marine animals track odor plumes to their source. Although studies of plume-tracking behavior have been performed in unidirectional flow, benthic animals such as crustaceans live in coastal habitats characterized by waves. We compared signal encounters by odor-plume-tracking stomatopods (mantis shrimp) in wave-affected and unidirectional flow in a flume. Stomatopods are small enough that w...
متن کاملEffects of altering flow and odor information on plume tracking behavior in walking cockroaches, Periplaneta americana (L.).
Animals using odor plumes to locate resources are activated to track these plumes by the presence of an attractive odor, and typically steer toward the source using directional cues from the flowing air or water bearing the odor. We challenged freely walking virgin male cockroaches, Periplaneta americana, to track plumes of airborne female pheromone and then video-recorded and analyzed their re...
