Abstract
Chemical Plume Tracing (CPT), locating the distant odor source in a turbulent environment, has been studied for robotics odor source search. Many robots moving on the ground are designed. In real-world, however, obstacles on the ground prevent the robots from approaching odor source. Flying CPT robots can approach odor source even if obstacles are on the ground, so design of the the flying robots are needed. We propose flying CPT robot system which can inhale odor ahead of the robot and detect the odor. This system is installed CPT algorithm of 2-dimension and the flying robot can locate the distant odor source under constant altitude condition.
