The ability to artificially replicate the biological sense
of smell has been a topic of interest
to the sensor community for several
decades now. In more recent years, advances
in electronics, sensors and computing
have made the manufacturing of compact
electronic nose devices possible, and
particularly suitable for integration
onto platforms such as mobile robots
or intelligent appliances. These sensors
have spawned a new generation of application
for robotic systems within the field
of safety and security, intelligent
environments and exploration.
The aim of this half-day workshop
is to provide a common forum where
an exchange of ideas and an identification
of common problems relating to robotic
olfaction can occur. It is expected
that this workshop should be of interest
to those already working in the area
of mobile olfaction and electronic
noses. Also due to the practical nature
of the workshop theme, the workshop
should also appeal to those interested
in including olfaction in their current
robotic systems.
A success story!
We are pleased to say ICRA's first workshop on robotic olfaction was a
success and we plan to continue to keep the theme of smelling robots
alive and active for the robotic community.
