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 …

This paper addresses the problem of estimating a likelihood map for the location of the
source of a chemical plume using an autonomous vehicle as a sensor probe in a fluid flow …

The ability to navigate in a complex environment is crucial for both animals and robots. Many
animals use a combination of different strategies to return to significant locations in their …

How should biological behaviour be modelled? A relatively new approach is to investigate
problems in neuroethology by building physical robot models of biological sensorimotor …

This paper presents a behavior-based adaptive mission planner (AMP) to trace a chemical
plume to its source and reliably declare the source location. The proposed AMP is …

Olfactory-based mechanisms have been hypothesized for biological behaviors including
foraging, mate-seeking, homing, and host-seeking. Autonomous underwater vehicles …

Locating gradient sources and tracking them over time has important applications to
environmental monitoring and studies of the ecosystem. We present an approach, inspired …

Work in behavior-based systems focuses on functional modeling, that is, the synthesis of life-
like and/or biologically inspired behavior that is robust, repeatable and adaptive. Inspiration …

This paper addresses the problem of mapping likely locations of a chemical source using an
autonomous vehicle operating in a fluid flow. The paper reviews biological plume-tracing …

Can we now build artificial animals? A combination of robot technology and
neuroethological knowledge is enabling the development of realistic physical models of …
