Odor Tracking with An Electronic Nose May 5, 2003 Jason Hamor Greg Allbee Ninh Dang Simon Saugier
Project Background Study the response of odor sensor Research now is focused on putting E-nose on mobile robot Robot movements depend on E-nose sensing
Objectives and Deliverables To simulate an odor tracking robot in LabView To create dispersion model Integrate the robot simulator, dispersion model with the existing Dilution system

Odor Tracking Algorithm Four-Phase Algorithm: Set/Clear Variables First Step 8-point Circle Track Gradients Momentum and direction based on weighted average of history and max point.
Diffusion Model Gaussian Dispersion model Single source and Multiple sources

E-nose Integration Testing Response of sensors Series vs. Parallel connection Optimize Gaussian model
Difficulties Encountered E-nose is not accurate E-nose is not precise Sensors heat up Sensors lag in response
