This paper discusses odor source localization (OSL) using a mobile robot in an outdoor time-
variant airflow environment. A novel OSL algorithm based on particle filters (PF) is proposed …

Wind velocity (strength and direction) is an important parameter for unmanned aerial vehicle
(UAV)-based environmental monitoring tasks. A novel wind velocity estimation method is …

Aiming at the problem of multiple odor sources localization, a multi-robot cooperation
method based on niching particle swarm optimization is presented in this study. In this …

This work addresses 2D gas and wind distribution mapping with a mobile robot for real-time
applications. Our proposal seeks to estimate how gases released in the environment are …

This book focuses on the topic of building spatial models that show patterns of dynamics in
the environment and using these models for solving the problem of mobile robot motion …

The design of a flying odor compass is proposed for the localization of gas source. The
compass is built on a quad-rotor helicopter and contains three gas sensors. A data …

In this article, we present the design and experimental validation of source-seeking control
algorithms for a unicycle mobile robot that is equipped with novel 3-D-printed flexible …

The leakage of hazardous chemicals and toxic volatile substances in the atmosphere may
cause serious consequences such as explosion and poisoning. To identify the unknown …

For mobile robots that operate in complex, uncontrolled environments, estimating air flow
models can be of great importance. Aerial robots use air flow models to plan optimal …
