SNIFFBOT Video in OUTPUT 2021 8. July 202121. February 2022 OUTPUT Webpage This is one of the research project where I am involved as a Principal Investigator at the TU Dresden (Germany). The project deals with developing intelligent nano-sensors, sensor networks, mobile robots and UAVs to monitor dangerous, inaccessible, and extensive environments such as toxic gases detection following man-made or natural disasters as well as search and rescue operations. The video is in German; the English version will follow.TU Dresden
Smell Board Use Case: SNIFFBOT 27. January 202121. February 2022 SmartNanotubes Technologies GmbH Robots that can sniff out and eliminate gases in hazardous environments: Seven professorships at TU Dresden are currently working on this in the SNIFFBOT project. The Smell Board 16×4 platform from the German deep tech start-up SmartNanotubes is being used as the smell sensor. It has 64 chemiresistor-type Nanomaterial-based gas detectors and is high sensitive to different gases and VOCs. Implemented on drones and driving robots, the highly sensitive smell sensor wirelessly sends a comprehensive odor image of its surroundings to software every 1.8 seconds. Smell Board enables the identification of even subtle nuances of hazardous substances and already detects ammonia, hydrogen sulfide and phosphine gas. The sensor is also currently being trained on carbon monoxide, chlorine gas, chlorine dioxide, then sulfur dioxide, hydrogen peroxide, NOx and hazardous VOCs. In the future, such robots could be used in accidents, disasters or war damage cleanup.SmartNanotubes Technologies GmbH
