This paper presents a modified version of the Particle Plume Explorer algorithm for environmental moni- toring applications. This algorithm is supported by the point cloud based plume mapping method called Particle Plume also presented here. The exploratory nature of Particle Plume Explorer is combined with the use of an expire time on the Particle Plume odor mapping algorithm to achieve a monitoring behavior. The developed algorithm was validated through extensive real world experiments on multiple indoor environments using a robot equipped with a gas sensors, showing that Particle Plume Explorer is a robust solution for indoor environmental monitoring. .

This paper explores the possibility of using data gathered from multiple gas sensors placed vertically on a mobile robot to perform plume tracking algorithms, in order to determine if three dimensional plume acquisition can provide any advantage is terms of plume tracking over traditional two dimensional plume acquisition. This was accomplished by testing a few well known plume tracking algorithms (Surge-Caste, Casting and Gradient following) against a modified version of each one of the algorithms, designed to input odor data from the gas sensor vertical array. Extensive real world experiments were conducted on an indoor environment. It was determined that three dimensional plume acquisition outperforms the two dimensional version when applied for plume tracking. .

This paper presents a new algorithm for single robot odor exploration called Particle Plume Explorer. This algorithm is supported by a novel point cloud based plume mapping method called Particle Plume also presented here. The developed algorithm was validated through extensive real world experiments on multiple environments using a single robot equipped with a gas sensor. .

"PlumeSim - Player/Stage Plume Simulator", Trabalho apresentado em ICRA 2010 Workshop for Networked and Mobile Robot Olfaction in Natural, Dynamic Environments, In ICRA 2010 Workshop for Networked and Mobile Robot Olfaction in Natural, Dynamic Environments, Anchorage.
The article describes a Player/Stage simulation framework for mobile robot olfactory experiments. The PlumeSim framework simulates odor transport in the environment, as well as olfactory detection systems. The odor transport can be based on analytical theoretical models, or on data generated by dedicated computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software packages, or data acquired in a real environment. The odor sensing process is modeled against data acquired by different time response sensors gas sensors. The complete framework is validated through the comparison of the results obtained by simulated and by real mobile robot olfactory experiments in a controlled environment. .

This article presents the first steps toward an automatic indoor environmental monitoring system through the use of a group of mobile robots. A metric map is provided a priori to the robots, ensuring the navigation, localization and extraction of points of interests for patrolling. The communication layer is robust and allows any robot to enter or leave the patrolling task. The monitoring of the environment is achieved by acquiring environmental information during the patrolling. If an abnormal condition is detected, the system should react, providing a fine coverage of the suspicious area and an accurate identification of its source. Experiments were conducted inside a building and data was gathered and post processed. The yet preliminary results demonstrate the effectiveness of the method employed to control the system, showing good area coverage from the patrolling algorithm and acceptable representations of the collected variables (alcohol concentration and temperature). .

PPExplorer is a an odor oriented exploration algorithm that builds on top of the odor mapping package particle_plume. The PPE algorithm is in charge of odor oriented exploration and plume tracking. This is accomplished in four steps. (1) Initially a circle of radius r is drawn around the robot and divided into n slices. (2) Next the slices which overlap with obstacles are removed. (3) The slices which contain a percentage of explored area over a certain threshold are then also removed. (4) Finally the cost of each remaining slice is calculated using a cost function. The slice with the lowest cost is chosen and the goal is set. The variables used fore the cost function are the amount of explored area, the angular distance to the odor gradient and the angular distance to the current heading of the robot. .

5. Cabrita, Gonçalo A. S; Sousa, Pedro. Particle Plume,2011.
Particle Plume is a 3D odor mapping algorithm. It intends to tackle the problems of plume intermittence, gas sensor noise and chemical data sharing between robots when applicable. Particle Plume represents plumes as point clouds using PCL. A grid of visited cells us also generated, allowing to distinguish between visited locations with no odor present and locations which were not yet visited. .

6. Cabrita, Gonçalo A. S; Sousa, Pedro. PlumeSim,2010.
PlumeSim is a plume simulation software. It was originally a plugin driver designed to work with Player/Stage, bringing plume simulation into the world of mobile robotics. It is capable of feeding simulated chemical plumes into a simulated or real robot from a wide range of sources, from mathematical models to data generated by computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software. It is also able to use data collected from real world experiments, enabling it to playback a recorded chemical plume over and over again. This software package is a great tool for developing odor search algorithms, providing a smooth path of progression from a simulated robot and environment, to a real robot with a simulated plume and finally to a real experiment. In this stack a ROS version of PlumeSim can be found, with visualization support over rviz.

A library is also available to allow for easy opening and closing of foreign_relays, the method by which local topics are published on a foreign roscore, thus providing the communication channel. .

1. Overview ROS is an open source distributed robotics platform designed to accelerate robotics research and development, including commercial application development. ROS is a high-quality, actively maintained, well-documented software platform intended to support the academic and industrial robotics communities. ROS includes reusable components that implement a variety of low- and high-level functionality, such as base navigation, mapping, visual odometry, arm planning and control, data visualization, object recognition, and task-level execution. ROS supports a number of research robots and common robot simulators. All ROS software is released under an Open Source license, and the great majority of it is licensed under a BSD-style license that allows users and companies to build applications on top without licensing constraints. 2. Audience The primary audience is robot software developers and algorithm researchers from the ISR as well as students from the DEEC. 3. Motivation and objectives The motive for this event is to introduce ROS to the ISR and DEEC researcher and student community. .
