Results show that the electronic nose system can accurately identify biomarkers related to periodontal disease (hydrogen sulfide, methanethiol).

So far, a variety of gas sensors have been developed to detect them in an industrial environment aimed to protect the health of workers at their work place. Among various types of gas sensors, chemiresistive type gas sensors have attracted considerable interest due to its characteristics, such as simple fabrication, high sensitivity, high reliability, etc. Nevertheless, there are still some limitations, such as, high power consumption resulted from high operating temperatures, and most sensors are solely dedicated to an individual gas monitoring. In this work, we present the development of highly sensitive and highly discriminative graphene-based gas sensors for gas detection and identification at room temperature. Graphene is exfoliated by a liquid phase approach and functionalized by copper phthalocyanine derivate (CuPc). Leveraging machine learning techniques, graphene-based gas sensors demonstrate an excellent gas identification performance towards NH3 and PH3 at an ultralow concentration (ppb level).

Remote gas sensors, that are commonly used in Robot Assisted Gas Tomogra-phy (RAGT), require reflecting surfaces within the sensor's range, limiting the possible sensing geometries, regardless of whether the robots are ground-based or airborne. By combining ground and aerial robots into a heterogeneous swarm whose agents are equipped with reflectors and remote gas sensors, remote inter-robot gas measurements become available, taking RAGT to the next dimension - releasing those constraints.

The measured results from the pattern to which the transmission line method was applied show that the bias-dependent response is observed only in the contact resistance component.

Inspired by the biological example, electronic noses (e-noses) in combination with efficient machine learning techniques aim to achieve similar performance and thus digitize the sense of smell. Despite the significant progress of e-noses, their development remains challenging due to the complex layout design of sensor arrays with a multitude of receptor types or sensor materials, and the need for high working temperature. In the current work, we present the discriminative recognition of odors utilizing graphene single-channel nanosensor-based electronic olfaction in conjunction with machine learning techniques. Multiple transient features extracted from the sensing response profile are employed to represent each odor and used as a fingerprint of odors. The developed electronic olfaction prototype exhibits excellent odor identification performance at room temperature, maximizing the obtained results from a single nanosensor.
