The present invention provides a device that can be transported by a moving animal or by a moving apparatus, such as a robot, for real-time monitoring of odor detection in turbulent flows. The device comprises connecting means (200) for connecting a portion of biological material, such as an insect antenna, that is sensitive to a predetermined molecule, such as a pheromone, to the device, the portion of biological material producing a specific electrical signal, like an electroantennogram signal, in the presence of the at least one predetermined molecule. The device also comprises amplification means (205, 220) for amplifying an electrical signal received from the connecting means and providing an amplified signal to computation means. The device further comprises computation means (250) for filtering an amplified signal received from the amplification means, the filtering comprising a step of applying a temporal high-pass filter to the amplified signal received from the amplification means.Insect antennae attached to an autonomous robot and used for electroantennographic detection. An insect antenna mounted on a robot is used for olfactive searches using a mapless search scheme in order to reproduce olfactive search strategies used by insects which have a limited space perception.
本发明提供了一种可由移动动物或移动装置(如机器人)运输的装置,用于实时监测湍流中的气味检测。该装置包括连接装置(200),用于将对预定分子(如信息素)敏感的部分生物材料(如昆虫天线)连接到该装置上,该部分生物材料在至少一种预定分子存在的情况下产生特定的电信号,如电天线图信号。该装置还包括放大装置(205,220),用于放大从连接装置接收到的电信号,并将放大后的信号提供给计算装置。该装置还包括用于过滤从放大装置接收到的放大信号的计算装置(250),过滤包括对从放大装置接收到的放大信号进行时间高通滤波器的步骤。安装在机器人上的昆虫天线使用无地图搜索方案进行嗅觉搜索,以再现空间感知能力有限的昆虫所使用的嗅觉搜索策略。
