Mobile robot odor source localization via semi-tensor product

In order to take full advantages of multi-sensor information from mobile robot, such as olfaction, vision, wind and so forth for odor source localization, a semi-tensor product based control system is set up. The inputs of the control system are multi-sensor information and the outputs are the relative searching strategies, such as random searching (RS), vision searching (VS), odor source declaration (OSD), and so on. Any searching strategy can be updated in the proposed semi-tensor product based control system and has no influence on the others. Experimental results show the efficiency of the proposed method.
