Burgues, J., Valdez, L. F., Marco, S., (2019). High-bandwidth e-nose for rapid tracking of turbulent plumes ISOEN 2019 
18th International Symposium on Olfaction and Electronic Nose , IEEE (Fukuoka, Japan) , 1-3 
The low bandwidth of metal oxide semiconductor (MOX) sensors (<0.1 Hz) is a major hurdle to gas source localization (GSL) in turbulent environments where detection of intermittent odor patches is key. We present a fast-response miniaturized electronic nose (Fast-eNose) composed of four naked MOX sensors and a digital band-pass filter that can boost the bandwidth of the system close to 1 Hz. The device was attached to a fast photo-ionization detector (330 Hz) to quantify the response time during exposure to turbulent gas plumes. The results indicate that the digital filter can improve the response time by at least a factor of 4, bringing new possibilities to mobile robot olfaction.
