Problem Background

E-nose came about from trying to mimic the

sense of smell in robots or machines.

E-nose beneficial because

Not fatigued

More sensitive

Research now is focused on putting an

E-nose on a mobile robot


3/15

Problem Statement

Develop signal-processing procedures to

reconstruct the changes in concentration of

odor mixtures through the response of a gassensor array.


4/15

Design Objective

Create three modules

E-nose module

Diffusion module

Robot Simulator

Replace E-nose module with provided

dilution system to test with real sensorresponses.

9/15

Alternative Solutions

Webots robot simulation language from

Cyberbotics

Java and Visual Basic languages

Adding win sensor

Coding just one model instead of two

Economic Analysis

Little or no costs

Possible cost: $220 for robot simulator

Whole project implemented in software

Software and dilution system provided


12/15

Societal, Safety, and

Environmental Analysis Many benefits

Locate harmful gases or leaks

Test air quality and monitor emissions

Help in space exploration

Few risks

Slow response in dealing with harmful odors

Robot malfunction
