Olfaction is a valuable source of information about the environment that has not been sufficiently exploited in mobile robotics yet. We claim that data provided by e-noses may have an important added-value when combined with other sensing modalities (particularly, vision), and also when olfaction is integrated into the robot high-level processes. This project aims at advancing into this direction by investigating mechanisms to use odor information (both the type of volatile and its concentration) in problems such as object recognition and scene-activity understanding. In this research we will pay special attention to the role of semantics within the robot perception and decisi\u00f3n-making processes. Through this approach we expect to improve the robot capabilities in terms of effciency, autonomy and usefulness<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Un grupo de investigadores de la Escuela Superior de Telecomunicaci\u00f3n de M\u00e1laga est\u00e1n desarrollado mapas de olores con la ayuda de una \u2018nariz electr\u00f3nica\u2019, que percibe olores a trav\u00e9s de ocho sensores y que mediante algoritmos, procesa la informaci\u00f3n a tiempo real. La investigaci\u00f3n tiene, seg\u00fan el responsable del proyecto Javier Gonz\u00e1lez, profesor del departamento de Ingener\u00eda de Sistemas y Autom\u00e1tica, m\u00faltiples ventajas ambientales: Disponer de mapas de olores continuamente actualizados ayudar\u00eda a detectar qu\u00e9 zonas de la ciudad concentran mayor poluci\u00f3n o se podr\u00eda mejorar el proceso de recogida de basura.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
