Robotic gas distribution mapping improves the understanding of a hazardous gas dispersion while putting the human operator out of danger. Generating an accurate gas distribution map quickly is of utmost importance in situations such as gas leaks and industrial incidents, so that the efficient use of…
In the gas source search and localisation problem, the use of autonomous robots is of increasing interest due to their deployment speed and lack of human interaction with hazardous materials. This letter presents an aerial robotic platform for performing source term estimation of an unknown chemical
This paper advocates the Gaussian belief propagation solver for factor graphs in the case of gas distribution mapping to support an olfactory sensing robot. The local message passing of belief propagation moves away from the standard Cholesky decomposition technique, which avoids solving the entire…
Mobile robotic gas distribution mapping (GDM) is a useful tool for hazardous scene assessment where a quick and accurate representation of gas concentration levels is required throughout a staging area. However, research in robotic path planning for GDM has primarily focused on mapping in open space…
