Autonomous Micro-Air-Vehicle Control Based on Visual Sensing for Odor Source Localization

by Kenzo Kurotsuchi, Mitsuharu Tai and Hiromasa Takahashi

Advances in Science, Technology and Engineering Systems Journal, Volume 2, Issue 3, Page # 1152–1158, 2017; DOI: 10.25046/aj0203145

Abstract:

In this paper, we propose a novel control method for autonomous-odor-source localization using visual and odor sensing by micro air vehicles (MAVs). Our method is based on biomimetics, which enable highly autonomous localization. Our method does not need any instruction signals, including even global positioning system (GPS) signals. An experimenter simply blows a whistle, and…

Interdisciplinarity to Integrate Knowledge in Engineering

by Stella Abreu, Amélia Caldeira, Alexandra R. Costa, Tiago Gomes and Luís A. C. Roque

Advances in Science, Technology and Engineering Systems Journal, Volume 2, Issue 3, Page # 788–795, 2017; DOI: 10.25046/aj020399

Abstract:

This paper is an extension of work originally presented at the 2nd International Conference of the Portuguese Society for Engineering Education and aims to describe an interdisciplinarity teaching experiment involving three subjects of the scientific area of Mathematics and a fourth one in the area of Management. Using only one project, the students developed skills,…
