Book Description
Robots can grasp, walk, see, and even understand verbal commands and respond to them, but little research has been done to provide robots with a sense of smell. This book reviews contemporary research being done to give robots the ability to generate, detect, and discriminate between odors. Russell (Monash U., Australia) describes a number of ways creatures, from humans to insects, use odor to mediate behavior, and how this would be implemented in a robot, including the associated robot control algorithms necessary to incorporate such detection technology into a variety of systems.
