When applied in some harsh environments (eg in poisonous atmosphere or underwater),
odor source localization robots are able to perform better than animals without being hurt …

Within the last couple of decades, there has been increasing research into the use of mobile
robots for gas sensing applications. This has led to many different branches of research …

We present Mate, an automatic off-line design method specialized in the design of spatially-
organizing behaviors for robot swarms. Mate belongs to the family of modular methods …

This paper presents a cooperative distributed approach for searching odor sources in
unknown structured environments with multiple mobile robots. While searching and …

The use of groups of autonomous marine vehicles has enormous potential in numerous
marine applications, perhaps the most relevant of which is the surveying and exploration of …

Collective movement of mobile robots is the problem of how to control a group of robots
making them move as a group, in a cohesive way, towards a common direction. Collective …

This paper presents an analytical approach to the problem of odor plume finding by a
network of swarm robotic gas sensors, and finds an optimal configuration for them, given a …

Finding the best spatial formation of stationary gas sensors in detection of odor clues is the
first step of searching for olfactory targets in a given space using a swarm of robots …

Robotic odor source localization is a promising tool with numerous applications in safety,
search and rescue, and environmental science. In this paper, we present an algorithm for …

We consider chemical plume tracing (CPT) in time-varying airflow environments using
multiple mobile robots. The purpose of CPT is to approach a gas source with a previously …
