机器人通常配备有至少几种不同形式的传感器。视觉和距离传感器是最受欢迎的，特别是在移动的机器人中。另一方面，由于在机器人平台上实现人工嗅觉所涉及的技术困难，嗅觉（或一般的化学传感）在机器人社区中长期被忽视。然而，在过去的二十年中，人们进行了各种尝试，以在机器人应用中使用化学传感器。在化学传感器的帮助下，移动的机器人可以跟随地面上的化学痕迹，跟踪化学羽流以找到它们的来源，并建立化学物质的分布图。本文旨在介绍这一新兴领域的研究简史和当前趋势。
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.
