Abstract

A perceptual system encompasses an important perspective of the interface between a human and an interacting system. In this context, an approach is presented to establish a natural and effective interaction between an operator and a measurement system. The system output acts as a social agent, based on sensory data and presents impressions as facial expressions as well as conclusions in the form of natural language based identification. The proposed method has been evaluated in an experimental perceptual odor system set up using an artificial olfactory system.
