Detection of Gas Drifting Near the Ground by Drone Hovering Over: Using Airflow Generated by Two Connected Quadcopters
Ryohei Sato; Kento Tanaka; Hanako Ishida; Saki Koguchi; Jane Pauline Ramos Ramirez; Haruka Matsukura; Hiroshi Ishida
Sensors, MDPI AG, 20, 5, 1397-1397, 04 Mar. 2020, Peer-reviwed, This paper describes the utilization of the downwashes of multicopters for gas-sensing applications. Multirotor drones are an attractive platform for sensing applications. Their high maneuverability enables swift scanning of a target area with onboard sensors. When equipped with a gas sensor and used for gas-sensing applications, however, the strong downwash produced by the rotors poses a problem. When a multicopter is hovering at a low altitude, gas puffs leaked from a gas source on the ground are all blown away. Here, we propose to use two multicopters connected by a rod or a string and place a gas sensor at the midpoint of the rod/string. The downwash generated by each multicopter spreads radially after it impinges on the ground. When two multicopters are connected, the airflows spreading radially along the ground from the two multicopters impinge at the center and are deflected in the upward direction. Gas puffs wafting near the ground surface between the two multicopters are carried by this upward airflow to the gas sensor. Experimental results are presented to show the soundness of the proposed method. The connected quadcopters hovering over an ethanol gas source was able to detect the gas even with a moderate cross-flow.

Active Chemical Sampling Using Jet Discharge Inspired by Crayfish: CFD Simulations of the Flow Fields Generated by the Jet Discharge Device
Hanako Ishida; Ryuichi Takemura; Tatsuki Mitsuishi; Haruka Matsukura; Hiroshi Ishida
Sensors, MDPI AG, 20, 2, 522-522, 17 Jan. 2020, Peer-reviwed, Here, we report on computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations conducted to develop a chemical sample collection device inspired by crayfish. The sensitivity of chemical sensors can be improved when used with a sniffing device. By collecting fluid samples from the surroundings, all solute species are also collected for the sensor. Crayfish generate jet-like water currents for this purpose. Compared to simply sucking water, food smells dissolved in the surrounding water can be more efficiently collected using the inflow induced by the jet discharge because of the smaller decay of the inflow velocity with the distance. Moreover, the angular range of water sample collection can be adjusted by changing the directions of the jet discharge. In our previous work, a chemical sample collection device that mimics the jet discharge of crayfish has been proposed. Here, we report CFD simulations of the flow fields generated by the device. By carefully configuring the simulation setups, we have obtained simulation results in which the angular ranges of the chemical sample collection in real experiments is well reproduced. Although there are still some discrepancies between the simulation and experimental results, such simulations will facilitate the process of designing such devices.

Stabilizing Graphically Extended Hand for Hand Tremors
Kai Wang; Haruka Matsukura; Daisuke Iwai; Kosuke Sato
IEEE Access, Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 6, 28838-28847, 23 May 2018, Peer-reviwed, Tremors, which refer the trembling or shaking of body parts, are caused by the involuntary contractions of muscles and are one of the most common movement disorders that often reduce individuals' the levels of the hand functions and also affect their independent body movements adversely. 'Extended Hand (EH)' is an augmented body technology, which visually extends the length of a user's arm by a spatial augmented reality. It could facilitate individuals whose reaching areas are limited by body movement disorders to interact with distant objects. However, the technology is currently limited, because any trembling of the hands contacting with the touch panel of the EH system is amplified, causing EH to shake in the physical world as well. To make EH benefit individuals whose hands and body are disabled by tremors, we proposed methods for stabilizing the movements and gestures of the EH to allow EH controlled steadily by their trembling hands. We developed a hand tremor simulator by which trembling hands interacting with EH were imitated, and investigated the effectiveness of stabilization methods by conducting a series of pointing and grasping experiments. The stabilization method composed of Kalman filter and Hysteresis was confirmed to be effective in reducing the unstable translation and unstable stationary state of EH, and the method combining the stabilization of the distances from the fingertips to their centroid and the analysis of the change in low frequency components of the touching areas effectively enable trembling hands to control the EH gestures steadily.

Tracking of a Gas Plume With the Aid of Olfactory Assist Mask
Haruka Matsukura; Hironori Hashiguchi; Hiroshi Ishida
Lead, IEEE SENSORS JOURNAL, IEEE-INST ELECTRICAL ELECTRONICS ENGINEERS INC, 17, 16, 5332-5340, Aug. 2017, Peer-reviwed, Here, we report the results of experiments conducted to see if human subjects can track a faint airborne odor plume with the help of an olfactory assist system that presents the amplified olfactory stimuli to the subjects. The system consists of a gas sensor and an odor generator. The sensor measures the concentration variations of a gaseous chemical compound wafting in the air. The odor generator presents the user with an odor with amplified concentration variations. Thus, the user of the olfactory assist system can virtually have an enhanced sense of smell. The odor with four different intensities is generated by the current olfactory assist mask system. We first describe the experiments conducted to confirm that the subjects can surely discriminate the different intensities of the presented odor. The results of gas-plume tracking experiments show that the olfactory assist system can make tracking of an aerial odor plume much easier, because it allows the user to check the spatial concentration variations of a faint odor.

Active airflow generation to assist robotic gas source localization: Initial experiments in outdoor environment
Ayano Murai; Haruka Matsukura; Ryuichi Takemura; Hiroshi Ishida
ECS Transactions, Electrochemical Society Inc., 75, 16, 65-72, Aug. 2016, Peer-reviwed, A new gas source localization method that uses actively generated airflow is proposed. A gas source localization robot searches for the location of a gas source by tracking a gas plume in the upwind direction. However, the robot often fails in tracking the plume in an actual environment owing to the large fluctuations of the airflow field and the plume structure. To overcome this problem, we propose to deploy in the environment a swarm of mobile robots equipped with fans to generate a stable airflow field so that a stable gas plume will be formed and the robot can easily track it. Experimental results are presented to show that the variations of the airflow field can be suppressed by the actively generated airflow even in an outdoor environment. It is also shown that errors in the gas source direction estimated by the robot can be reduced by the proposed method.

Estimation of gas source location from fluctuating readings of gas sensors and anemometer on mobile robot in outdoor environment
Yuta Wada; Haruka Matsukura; Hiroshi Ishida
ECS Transactions, Electrochemical Society Inc., 75, 16, 99-106, Aug. 2016, Peer-reviwed, Here we report on a new method for robotic gas source localization. In the method proposed in this series of work, a mobile robot equipped with gas sensors and an anemometer is used to measure the gas concentration and airflow direction at various locations in the area under consideration. The location of the gas source is estimated by applying a turbulent diffusion model of a gas plume to the sensor data collected by the mobile robot. In the previous version of the method, the value of the turbulent diffusion coefficient in the model needs to be properly adjusted to obtain appropriate estimation results. Therefore, the model is replaced with the one that requires no empirical parameter. The estimation results are presented to show that the proposed method can provide a map showing the area in which a gas source is likely to be found.

Portable display system for presenting spatial odor and/or airflow distribution
Genta Urasaki; Ryoji Shinogi; Haruka Matsukura; Hiroshi Ishida
IEEJ Transactions on Sensors and Micromachines, Institute of Electrical Engineers of Japan, 136, 7, 296-302, Jul. 2016, Peer-reviwed, Here we report a portable wind/olfactory display system that can present a virtual airflow and/or odor source at an arbitrary position on a screen of a tablet computer. The system is named a smelling screen mini. As in our original-size smelling screen, airflows generated by four fans are made to impinge on each other, and thus, an airflow directed toward the user from a specified position on the screen is generated. By introducing odor vapor into the airflows, the odor distribution is as if odor vapor had been released from a certain position on the screen. However, it has been found that the airflows generated by the fans in the smelling screen mini are not properly impinging on each other and that the airflow directed toward the user is obliquely distorted. We have shown that the distortion is caused by the irregularities of the airflows from the fans. Experimental results are presented to show that the distortion of the airflow distribution can be effectively reduced by adding airflow straightening vanes and tapered flow paths to suppress the swirling motion of the airflows. The smelling screen mini can be used to add special effects to mobile games and electronic picture books.

Development of olfactory assist mask
Haruka Matsukura; Junpei Ohmi; Hiroshi Ishida
Lead, IEEJ Transactions on Sensors and Micromachines, 133, 6, 5-218, Jun. 2013, Peer-reviwed, In this paper, an olfaction aid system is proposed, which allows a human worker to have an enhanced sense of smell when searching for a gas/odor source. The system consists of a gas sensor and an odor generator. It measures the concentration variations of odorous chemical compounds that the user is being exposed to, and presents an odor with amplified concentration variations to the user. Prototype development of the proposed system is reported, and experimental results are presented to show its effectiveness. It has been shown that a user can easily find a gas/odor source by using the olfaction aid system with no special training even if the gas concentration is too low and its odor is indiscernible to humans. The proposed system will contribute to facilitate various gas/odor source localization tasks, e.g., land mine detection in fields, narcotic detection in airports, and victim search at the scenes of disasters, which are currently accomplished by specially trained dogs. © 2013 The Institute of Electrical Engineers of Japan.

Smelling screen: Development and evaluation of an olfactory display system for presenting a virtual odor source
Haruka Matsukura; Tatsuhiro Yoneda; Hiroshi Ishida
IEEE Transactions on Visualization and Computer Graphics, 19, 4, 606-615, Apr. 2013, Peer-reviwed, We propose a new olfactory display system that can generate an odor distribution on a two-dimensional display screen. The proposed system has four fans on the four corners of the screen. The airflows that are generated by these fans collide multiple times to create an airflow that is directed towards the user from a certain position on the screen. By introducing odor vapor into the airflows, the odor distribution is as if an odor source had been placed onto the screen. The generated odor distribution leads the user to perceive the odor as emanating from a specific region of the screen. The position of this virtual odor source can be shifted to an arbitrary position on the screen by adjusting the balance of the airflows from the four fans. Most users do not immediately notice the odor presentation mechanism of the proposed olfactory display system because the airflow and perceived odor come from the display screen rather than the fans. The airflow velocity can even be set below the threshold for airflow sensation, such that the odor alone is perceived by the user. We present experimental results that show the airflow field and odor distribution that are generated by the proposed system. We also report sensory test results to show how the generated odor distribution is perceived by the user and the issues that must be considered in odor presentation. © 2013 IEEE.

Chemical Sensing in Robotic Applications: A Review
Hiroshi Ishida; Yuta Wada; Haruka Matsukura
IEEE SENSORS JOURNAL, IEEE-INST ELECTRICAL ELECTRONICS ENGINEERS INC, 12, 11, 3163-3173, Nov. 2012, Peer-reviwed, Robots are generally equipped with at least several different modalities of sensors. Vision and range sensors are the most popular, especially in mobile robots. On the other hand, olfaction (or chemical sensing in general) had long been ignored in the robotics community because of the technical difficulties involved in realizing artificial olfaction on robotic platforms. Over the past two decades, however, various attempts are made to use chemical sensors in robotic applications. With the help of chemical sensors, mobile robots can follow chemical trails laid on the ground, track chemical plumes to find their sources, and build distribution maps of chemical substances. This paper is intended to present a brief history and the current trends of the research in this emerging field.

Fluid Dynamic Considerations for Realistic Odor Presentation Using Olfactory Display
Haruka Matsukura; Akira Ohno; Hiroshi Ishida
Lead, Presence: Teleoperators and Virtual Environments, MIT PRESS, 19, 6, 513-526, Dec. 2010, Peer-reviwed, This paper describes some fluid dynamic considerations for attaining realistic odor presentation using an olfactory display. Molecular diffusion is an extremely slow process and odor molecules released from their source are spread by being carried off by airflow. Therefore, we propose to use a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation in conjunction with the olfactory display. The CFD solver is employed to calculate the turbulent airflow field in the given environment and the dispersal of odor molecules from their source. The simulation result is used to reproduce at the nose the realistic change in the odor concentration with time and space. However, our initial sensory test for evaluating the proposed method was not completely successful, and we also found some discrepancies between our real-life olfactory sensation and the experience of the CFD-based olfactory display. Here we report some insights to overcome these problems. In the initial sensory test, a nontrivial portion of the subjects did not properly recognize the spatial variation in the odor intensity. The result of our recent sensory test is presented in this paper to show that better contrast in the perceived odor intensity can be provided when the concentration range of the released odor is adjusted for the variation in the olfactory sensitivity of individual subjects. We noted that olfactory adaptation occurred more quickly in the initial sensory test of the CFD-based olfactory display than in real environments. In this paper, we show that olfactory adaptation can be alleviated by modulating the odor concentration randomly to mimic the random fluctuations of the turbulent flow fields in real environments. We also noted in our initial sensory test that there were sometimes discrepancies between our olfactory sensation in real environments and the simulated odor distribution. We show in this paper that the discrepancy can be attributed to the convection caused by the human body temperature that brings an odor vapor that is drifting around our feet up to our noses.

Display for presenting spatial odor distribution and airflow field
H. Matsukura; T. Nihei; A. Ohno; H. Ishida
Lead, Transactions of the Virtual Reality Society of Japan, THE VIRTUAL REALITY SOCIETY OF JAPAN, 15, 4, 563-570, Dec. 2010, Peer-reviwed, A new device is proposed for generating spatial odor distribution and airflow field to present them to the users. When two fans are facing each other, winds from them collide with each other and are deflected from their original courses. By utilizing such deflected winds, the proposed device can present the user with wind coming from various locations. Moreover, by scenting the airflow coming out from the fans, various odor distributions can be also created. The results of measuring airflow velocity and odor concentration show the validity of the technique. The results of sensory tests are presented to show the potential of the proposed system.

Lead, Journal of Mechanical Science and Technology, KOREAN SOC MECHANICAL ENGINEERS, 24, 1, 253-256, Jan. 2010, Peer-reviwed, This paper reports on an olfactory display system that enables the synchronized presentation of odors with airflow in a virtual reality environment. In the proposed system, computational fluid dynamics simulation is conducted to calculate how an odor released from its source is spread in a given airflow field. An odor vapor with an appropriate concentration is generated and delivered to the user's nose. A sensation that an odor is coming from a specific object is created even though the object per se is not releasing the odor. Experimental results are presented to show the potential of the proposed system.

FARFEEL: Providing haptic sensation of touched objects using visuo-haptic feedback
Naruki Tanabe; Yushi Sato; Kohei Morita; Parinya Punpongsanon; Haruka Matsukura; Michiya Inagaki; Daisuke Iwai; Yuichi Fujino; Kosuke Sato
We present fARFEEL, a remote communication system that provides visuo-haptic feedback allows a local user to feel touching distant objects. The system allows the local and remote users to communicate by using the projected virtual hand (VH) for the agency of his/her own hands. The necessary haptic information is provided to the non-manipulating hand of the local user that does not bother the manipulation of the projected VH. We also introduce the possible visual stimulus that could potentially provide the sense of the body ownership over the projected VH., Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 01 Mar. 2019, 26th IEEE Conference on Virtual Reality and 3D User Interfaces, VR 2019 - Proceedings, 1355-1356, English, 85071889322

Odor modulation by warming/cooling nose based on cross-modal effect
Yuichi Fujino; Haruka Matsukura; Daisuke Iwai; Kosuke Sato
Presentation of odors is considered to be important as a means for giving a sense of presence. However, the basic odors have not been established to generate any kinds of odors by combining them, like the three primary colors in vision, the basic tastes in gustation. In order to present various kinds of odors, in general, it is necessary to prepare each corresponding odorant. In this research, an odor modulation method is proposed based on a cross-modal effect between olfaction and thermal sensation, which might be able to decrease the number of odorants used to generate odors presented to the user. The experimental results are reported to show that sensation of odors can be modulated by presenting warm/cool air with the odors even if the same odors are presented to the subjects., Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 01 Mar. 2019, 26th IEEE Conference on Virtual Reality and 3D User Interfaces, VR 2019 - Proceedings, 929-930, English, 85071840686

Chemical sampling device for underwater robot: Jet discharge mimicking crayfish
Hanako Ishida; Tatsuki Mitsuishi; Ryuichi Takemura; Haruka Matsukura; Hiroshi Ishida
Here we report on active water sampling devices for underwater chemical sensing robots. Crayfish generate jet-like water currents during food search by waving the flagella of their maxillipeds. The jets generated toward their sides induce an inflow from the surroundings to the jets. Odor sample collection from the surroundings to their olfactory organs is promoted by the generated inflow. Devices that model the jet discharge of crayfish have been developed to investigate the effectiveness of the active chemical sampling. Experimental results are presented to confirm that water samples are drawn to the chemical sensors from the surroundings more rapidly by using the axisymmetric flow field generated by the jet discharge than by centrosymmetric flow field generated by simple water suction. Results are also presented to show that there is a tradeoff between the angular range of chemical sample collection and the sample collection time., Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 28 May 2017, ISOCS/IEEE International Symposium on Olfaction and Electronic Nose, English

Determination of Gas Source Existence in a Specified Area by Active Airflow Generator Robots
Takashi Yoshida; Ryuichi Takemura; Haruka Matsukura; Hiroshi Ishida
A new method for robotic gas-source localization is proposed. Extensive research efforts have been made to develop robots that can autonomously search for gas sources. Successful demonstrations on gas source localization have been reported mostly for experiments conducted in simple environments, e.g., in a uniform unidirectional airflow field in a wind tunnel. However, to locate a gas source in a complicated airflow field in a real environment is still a challenging task. Therefore, we propose to deploy multiple robots equipped with fans to change the complicated airflow field into simple one. A prototype airflow generator robot equipped with two fans has been developed. In the proposed method, the search area is divided into subareas, each of which measures a few meters square. Then, the existence of a gas source in each subarea is checked in turn by measuring the gas concentration along the perimeter of each subarea. Experimental results are presented to show the feasibility of the proposed method., IEEE, 01 Nov. 2015, 2015 IEEE Sensors, English

Robotic Gas Source Localization Assisted by Active Airflow Generation
Ayano Murai; Kamon Yoshimoto; Ryuichi Takemura; Haruka Matsukura; Hiroshi Ishida
A new robotic gas source localization method that uses actively generated airflow is proposed. A gas source localization robot searches for the location of a gas source by tracking the gas plume in the upwind direction. However, the robot often fails in tracking a gas plume in an actual environment owing to the complexity of the airflow field and the resultant plume structure. To solve this problem, we propose to simplify the complicated airflow field so that the robot can easily track the plume. Several fans are aligned in the area of interest to generate a unidirectional airflow field. Experimental results are presented to show that the proposed method enables the robot to track the gas plume more robustly in a shorter time., IEEE, 01 Nov. 2015, 2015 IEEE Sensors, English

Here we report on the use of an olfactory assist system to track an airborne odor plume. The system consists of a gas sensor and an odor generator. The sensor measures the concentration variations of a gaseous chemical compound wafting in the air. The odor generator presents the user with an odor with amplified concentration variations. Thus, the user of the olfactory assist system can virtually have an enhanced sense of smell. Experimental results show that the users of the olfactory assist system can easily locate an odor source by checking the spatial concentration variations of the faint odor., Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 02 Nov. 2014, IEEE Sensors, English

J113013 Development of Olfactory Display for Virtual Reality Applications : Simultaneous Presentation of Virtual Odor Source and Heat Source
MATSUKURA Haruka; WATANABE Haruhito; YONEDA Tatsuhiro; ISHIDA Hiroshi
This paper reports on a new display system that can present a virtual odor and/or heat source at an arbitrary position on a two-dimensional screen. By releasing a smell of coffee in a warm airflow while showing a cupful of coffee on an LCD monitor, for example, the system can make the user feel as if warm savory steam is emanating from the coffee. In the proposed system, airflows generated by four fans are made to change their courses multiple times by making them collide with each other. Finally, an airflow directed toward the user from a certain position on the screen is generated. By introducing odor vapor and/or heat into the airflows, the odor/temperature distribution is generated as if the odor/heat were spreading from the specific position on the screen. The position of this virtual odor/heat source can be shifted to an arbitrary position on the two-dimensional LCD monitor screen by changing the speeds of the four fans. The proposed system can be used to make attractive digital signage., The Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers, 08 Sep. 2013, Mechanical Engineering Congress, Japan, Japanese

Thus, an airflow directed toward the user from a certain position on the screen is generated.

2204 Technique for Presenting Airflow and/or Odor Source in Virtual Reality System by Airflow Manipulation
MATSUKURA Haruka; YONEDA Tatsuhiro; ISHIDA Hiroshi
In this paper, a display system that can present a virtual airflow and/or odor source on a screen is proposed. The system can give the user a sensation that airflow and/or odor is coming from a certain position on a computer screen. Four fans are used in the proposed display and are placed at the four corners of the screen. Airflows generated by the fans are collided with each other and deflected from their original courses. Thus, directed airflow is generated toward the user from a specific position on the screen (a virtual airflow source). By introducing odor vapor into the airflows, odor distribution spreading from a specific position on the screen (a virtual odor source) is generated. The results of airflow velocity and odor concentration measurements show that the virtual airflow/odor source can be moved to an arbitrary position on the screen by adjusting intensities of the airflows., The Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers, 22 Apr. 2012, The Machine Design and Tribology Division meeting in JSME, Japanese

The user can freely move his/her head and sniff at various locations. Potential applications of the proposed device include digital signage, video games, and exhibitions in museums.

Effects of self-generated heat on gas sensing in mobile robots and olfactory sensing in humans
Haruka Matsukura; Yuta Wada; Hiroshi Ishida
Mobile robots equipped with gas sensors have been applied to measure gas distributions in given areas. Here we present experimental results to show that the obtained distributions are, at least in some cases, distorted because of upward air currents created by self-generated heat of the robot. The results of CFD simulations show that human olfaction is also affected by upward air currents generated around our bodies., AMER INST PHYSICS, 02 May 2011, The 14th International Symposium On Olfaction and Electronic Nose, English

Multi-sensorial field display: presenting spatial distribution of airflow and odor
Haruka Matsukura; Tomohiko Nihei; Hiroshi Ishida
A new device has been developed for generating airflow field and odor-concentration distribution in a real environment for presenting to the user. This device is called a multi-sensorial field (MSF) display. When two fans are placed facing each other, the airflows generated by them collide with each other and are radially deflected on a plane perpendicular to the original airflow direction. By utilizing the deflected airflow, the MSF display can present the airflow blowing from the front to the user without placing fans in front of the user. The directivity of the airflow deflection can be controlled by placing nozzles on the fans to adjust the cross-sectional shape of the airflow jets coming from the fans. The MSF display can also generate odor-concentration distribution in a real environment by introducing odor vapors into the airflow generated by the fans. The user can freely move his/her head and sniff at various locations in the generated odor distribution. The results of preliminary sensory tests are presented to show the potential of the MSF display., IEEE, 19 Mar. 2011, IEEE Virtual reality, English

On the effect of airflow on odor presentation
Haruka Matsukura; Akira Ohno; Hiroshi Ishida
This article describes the investigations on the effect of airflow on the perception of odors presented by an olfactory display device. A clear sensation of the direction to an odor source can be given to the user of the olfactory display when the air currents are provided to the user's face by using fans. When the air currents are not provided, the user feels as if the source is placed nearby. We hypothesize that this sensation is caused by the upward air currents generated by our body temperature. When there is no wind, only the odors from nearby sources are brought to our noses by the upward air currents. The result of a sensory test shows that the perceived location of an odor source changes with the airflow presented to the panelist. Providing airflow together with odors is thus promising to reproduce complicated situations that cannot be reproduced by olfactory stimulation alone., IEEE COMPUTER SOC, 20 Mar. 2010, IEEE Virtual Reality, English

S1103-3-3 Study on Introducing Computational Fluid Dynamics to Olfactory Display
MATSUKURA Haruka
An olfactory display is a device that presents odor with images in a virtual reality system to enhance the sense of reality. A new odor presenting system is proposed by introducing computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations into the olfactory display. A turbulent airflow field in a given environment and a distribution of the odor spread by the airflow are calculated using the CFD simulations. In this paper, the potential of the proposed system is evaluated by two types of sensory tests; synchronized presentation of an odor with the airflow created using an electric fan and odor presentation with a movie clip. The results of the sensory tests show that a better sensation of the odor distribution in a virtual space can be provided to a user by presenting the calculated odor concentration using the proposed system., The Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers, 13 Sep. 2009, The JSME annual meeting, Japanese

Interactive odor playback based on fluid dynamics simulation
Haruka Matsukura; Hitoshi Yoshida; Hiroshi Ishida; Takamichi Nakamoto
This article describes the experiments on an interactive application of an olfactory display system into which computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation is incorporated. In the proposed system, the olfactory display is used to add special effects to movies and virtual reality systems by releasing odors relevant to the scenes shown on the computer screen. To provide high-presence olfactory stimuli to the users, a model of the environment shown in the scene is provided to a CFD solver. The airflow field in the environment and the dispersal of odor molecules from their source are then calculated. An odor blender is used to generate the odor with the concentration determined based on the calculated odor distribution. In the experiments, a virtual room was presented on a PC monitor, and the panel were asked to stroll in the room to find an odor source. The results showed the effectiveness of the CFD simulation in reproducing the spatial distribution of the odor in the virtual space., IEEE COMPUTER SOC, 14 Mar. 2009, IEEE Virtual Reality 2009, English

Short papers: Olfactory display: Fluid dynamic considerations for realistic odor presentation
H. Matsukura; H. Ishida
This paper describes some fluid dynamic considerations for attaining realistic odor presentation using an olfactory display. Molecular diffusion is an extremely slow process and, therefore, odor molecules released from their source are spread by being carried off by airflow. Since the flow we encounter is almost always turbulent, the intensities of the odors delivered from their sources to our noses fluctuate randomly over time. Experimental results are presented to show the random fluctuations of odor intensity alleviate olfactory adaptation. When the odor vapor generation from an olfactory display device is randomly modulated, the odor is felt more persistently over time than in the case of the constant release of the odor vapor. The results of computational fluid dynamics simulations are also presented to show that our body temperature affects reception of odor vapors at our noses. Convective air currents in the upward direction are generated by our body temperature. They bring the odor vapor drifting along the floor up to our noses. Without the body temperature, such odor might not be detected. The detailed fluid dynamic considerations thus enable reproduction of realistic odor stimuli that we encounter in real-life scenarios., Eurographics Association, 2009, Proceedings of the Joint Virtual Reality Conference of EGVE - The 15th Eurographics Symposium on Virtual Environments, ICAT, EuroVR 2009, 61-64, English, 84899175198

Development of Drones Equipped with High-Speed Optical Electronic Nose Sensors: Toward High-Precision Atmospheric Environmental Monitoring
Ishida Hiroshi
Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (B), Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology, Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (B), Coinvestigator, Landfill sites are large sources of greenhouse gases including methane produced through biological decomposition of organic waste. In this research project, we have developed elemental technologies toward realizing drones that can detect such greenhouse gases and autonomously locate their sources. In order to detect a gas source on the ground, we have proposed to utilize the airflow field produced by a multi-rotor drone hovering at a low altitude. Experimental results have shown that gas puffs wafting near the ground can be effectively collected to the gas sensor onboard the drone using the airflow produced by its rotors. To realize small infrared gas sensors that fit on a drone, we have developed a miniaturized infrared light emitter by using MEMS technologies. We also have succeeded in high-precision gas-source localization using particle filters and super-resolution gas-distribution measurement using deep learning., 19H02103

By collecting odor molecules wafting in the air onto the adsorbent, we can increase the concentration of the odor vapor. By presenting this concentrated odor vapor, we can make the user feel as if their olfactory sensitivity is enhanced. The mixing ratio of odor molecules can be modulated by using adsorbents having affinities to different classes of odor molecules. Olfactory perception can be also modulated by presenting thermal and/or wind stimuli to the user even if the same odor is presented. We have fabricated the prototype systems of these olfactory modulators and have experimentally shown their feasibility., 19K14947

In the proposed system, a mixture of various odorant vapors is generated, and its smell is examined by using an electronic nose system. Thus, the process of exploring the appropriate vapor mixing ratios to reproduce the desired smell is automated. When odorants with low volatility are used, sufficiently strong smell cannot always be generated. Therefore, an odor concentrator device has also been developed., 17K19964
