Mobile olfaction robot odor source localization based on wireless sensor network

The mobile olfaction robot is combined with the wireless sensor network to realize the odor source location. Mobile robot is a fusion of gas sensors and infrared ranging sensors etc. Environment information detected by wireless sensor network could provide general distribution of odor source for a mobile robot. Therefore, the time-consuming in traditional plume discovery could be avoided in the process of random searching. At the same time, the wireless sensor module is equipped on the mobile robots, so that the operator could obtain the information of source coordinate on the personal computer(PC) directly. The related experiment demonstrates that the method could quickly find the leakage source and locate the odor source.
