The effectiveness of any proposal to cope with this task is partially limited by the characteristics of the sensors employed. Most of the small, low-power sensing devices that are appropriate for mobile robotics suffer from problems like slow response time, long recovery, or low selectivity; and this makes the search process slower and less robust. In this work, we seek to provide a preliminary quantification of the effect of these issues in the results of a state-of-the-art gas source localization method. By using high-fidelity gas dispersion simulations, we compare the behaviour of the robotic agent when attaining measurements from a realistic sensor, with modelled response delay and inaccuracy, versus an idealized one that returns the ground-truth gas concentration value instantly. We find that, for slow-response sensors, there is a clear improvement of the results as the robot is allowed to gather measurements for a longer period of time, giving the sensor time to stabilize. A fast-responding sensor, on the other hand, does not benefit from very long measurement steps, needing only a small time window to account for instantaneous instabilities in the spatial dispersion of the gas.","PeriodicalId":427373,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE International Symposium on Olfaction and Electronic Nose (ISOEN)","volume":"40 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123773420","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Indeed, in Italy, IOMS are currently frequently prescribed at waste treatment facilities with the purpose of continuously monitoring odour emission and produce alarms when a given threshold is exceeded. In this context, a possible improvement concerns the implementation of variable alarm thresholds, which change as a function of the local meteorological conditions, and result in a better correlation with odour perceptions at receptors. This paper presents the implementation of such a monitoring system applied to a landfill, proving its capability to increase the correspondence between threshold exceedances and odour events at receptors, thus paving the way for the development of a system capable in assisting plant managers to promptly identify critical situations and plan immediate interventions to reduce odour impacts.","PeriodicalId":427373,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE International Symposium on Olfaction and Electronic Nose (ISOEN)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130975806","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While carbon nanotube-based (CNT) sensor arrays have long been proposed as a solution to this challenge, their sensing performances usually suffer from the large number of interferents in real-life conditions. Here we discuss an uncertainty-based calibration and prediction framework which allows to recover multi-parameter sensing even in a highly perturbed environment. We study a 10×2 CNT-sensor array for pH and active chlorine monitoring in drink water. While in deionized water pH and active chlorine are easily monitored, in tap water only the active chlorine level can be recovered by standard calibration. By contrast, using our Bayesian approach, both active chlorine and pH are recovered with mean absolute error comparable with reference sensors.","PeriodicalId":427373,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE International Symposium on Olfaction and Electronic Nose (ISOEN)","volume":"155 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127354383","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Intranasal drug administration pathway, given its proximity to the brain, provides a great opportunity for AD treatment. Also, olfactory dysfunction has been reported to be an early symptom of AD. Many researches have indicated olfactory bulb (OB) is the first region of the olfactory system to be damaged in AD. And olfactory bulb is where AD drugs must pass to get into the brain for intranasal delivery. Therefore, olfactory bulb biosensor based on MEA was established to monitor the effect of AD drugs in real-time, hopefully contributing to the intranasal administration of AD individual-based treatment.","PeriodicalId":427373,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE International Symposium on Olfaction and Electronic Nose (ISOEN)","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127638993","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study has developed a two-stage classification model trained from responses of an electronic nose (e-nose) comprising of four metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) gas sensors and black pepper mass to authenticate Malaysia and Vietnam black pepper from India, Indonesia and frauded samples. 24 classifiers were trained and compared in terms of classification accuracy.

It is a fundamental part of the search, since it is responsible to decide whether the gas source has been found, and also to pinpoint its location. Despite its importance, source declaration is often ignored in most of the GSL research, the criteria for termination being selected in a seemingly arbitrary manner, or even not being discussed at all. A clear example of this is the large number of experiments in the literature that are declared concluded whenever the robot manages to physically reach the source, without formally declaring it. In this work, we seek to provide an overview of the most significant declaration methods that have been used in state-of-the-art research for single-robot GSL, analyzing their strengths and weaknesses. We also provide a preliminary experimental validation of these methods, focusing on how stable their performance is when their input parameters are modified.","PeriodicalId":427373,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE International Symposium on Olfaction and Electronic Nose (ISOEN)","volume":"72 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127479494","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
