Artificial Olfaction
Artificial olfaction involves the use of gas-sensing technology and intelligent algorithms to detect, identify, or localize volatile compounds in the air. This includes areas of general interest such as air quality evaluation, or more specific applications such as the detection and localization of toxic or greenhouse gas emissions such as methane, CO2, or sulfide derivatives. This “ability” is increasingly being integrated into mobile robots to both enhance their ability to interact with and understand their environment by detecting and processing gaseous substances, as well as to enhance the intelligent automation of monitoring processes that require the detection of volatile substances.
Artificial olfaction has a wide range of applications across multiple sectors. Our group focuses on the integration of this challenging and promising research topic with intelligent mobile robots, giving rise to applications like Environmental Monitoring, for detecting and tracking pollutants, harmful gases, and chemical leaks to ensure air quality and public safety, or Security, identifying and localizing hazardous substances for security purposes (like natural gas leaks within a house).
Numerous problems are caused by uncontrolled or illicit emissions of polluting gases that contribute to global warming or even cause direct harm to human health. Due to the abundance of pollution’s sources, many governments around the world have recently invested in implementing systems for the measurement and control of such emissions, including mobile robotic agents.

abstract = {Gas source localization (GSL) is one of the most important and direct applications of a gas sensitive mobile robot, and consists in searching for one or multiple volatile emission sources with a mobile robot that has improved sensing capabilities (i.e. olfaction, wind flow, etc.). This work adresses GSL by employing a teleoperated mobile robot, and focuses on which search strategy is the most suitable for this teleoperated approach. Four different search strategies, namely chemotaxis, anemotaxis, gas-mapping, and visual-aided search, are analyzed and evaluated according to a set of proposed indicators (e.g. accuracy, efficiency, success rate, etc.) to determine the most suitable one for a human-teleoperated mobile robot. Experimental validation is carried out employing a large dataset composed of over 150 trials where volunteer operators had to locate a gas-leak in a virtual environment under various and realistic environmental conditions (i.e. different wind flow patterns and gas source locations). We report different findings, from which we highlight that, against intuition, visual-aided search is not always the best strategy, but depends on the environmental conditions and the operator's ability to understand how gas distributes.},

The objective is to expand the range of applications where robotics telepresence can be applied, including those related to the detection of volatile chemical substances (e.g. land-mine detection, explosive deactivation, operations in noxious environments, etc.). Concretely, we analyze how the sense of smell can be integrated in the telepresence loop, covering the digitization of the gases and wind flow present in the remote environment, the transmission through the communication network, and their display at the user location. Experiments under different environmental conditions are presented to validate the proposed telepresence system when localizing a gas emission leak at the remote environment.},

abstract = {This thesis covers several aspects of artificial or robotic olfaction, that is, sensing information about the composition of the air surrounding an automated system. First, we have developed an electronic nose, an instrument that combines low-performance gas sensors with a classification algorithm to measure and identify gases by their chemical signature. Although this technology already existed previously, a new approach is applied that seeks to reduce dimensions and consumption in order to be installed in mobile robots, whilst also increasing the number of detectable gases by means of a modular design. Subsequently, we have explored a possible optimal strategy for finding gas leaks with a robot equipped with this type of electronic noses. In particular, we have carried out several experiments based on teleoperation to understand how the robot sensors affect the success of the task, allowing us to derive an algorithm to generate gas-maps (i.e. physical gas distribution maps) with autonomous robots based on the observed human search behavior: maximizing the known information about the environment. The main virtue of this method, besides performing an optimal exploration of the environment, is its ability to operate in very complex environments and subject to wind currents using a new method that is also presented in this thesis. Finally, two application cases are also presented in which we automatically identify and qualify the subjective air quality in urban environments.
La presente tesis abarca varios aspectos del olfato artificial u olfato robótico, la capacidad de percibir información sobre la composición del aire que rodea a un sistema automático. En primer lugar, se desarrolla una nariz electrónica, un instrumento que combina sensores de gas de bajas prestaciones con un algoritmo de clasificación para medir e identificar gases. Aunque esta tecnología ya existía previamente, se aplica un nuevo enfoque que busca reducir las dimensiones y consumo para poder instalarlas en robots móviles, a la vez que se aumenta el número de gases detectables mediante un diseño modular. Posteriormente, se estudia la estrategia óptima para encontrar fugas de gas con un robot equipado con este tipo de narices electrónicas. Para ello se llevan a cabos varios experimentos basados en teleoperación para entender como afectan los sensores del robot al éxito de la tarea, de lo cual se deriva finalmente un algoritmo para generar con robots autónomos mapas de gas de un entorno dado, el cual se inspira en el comportamiento humano, a saber, maximizar la información conocida sobre el entorno. La principal virtud de este método, además de realizar una exploración óptima del entorno, es su capacidad para funcionar en entornos muy complejos y sujetos a corrientes de vientos mediante un nuevo método que también se presenta en esta tesis. Finalmente, se presentan dos casos de aplicación en los que se identifica de forma automática con una nariz electrónica la calidad subjetiva del aire en entornos urbanos.},
