Robotic odor source localization is a technology that enables a mobile robot or autonomous agent to locate hidden odor sources in unknown environments. This approach has significant potential for replacing human searchers in hazardous situations, such as detecting chemical leaks or gas emissions. The key challenge lies in designing effective navigation algorithms that allow the robot to respond appropriately to sensory inputs. This presentation explores various olfactory-based navigation strategies, including AI-driven algorithms and semantic navigation approaches that fuse visual and olfactory data. The presentation also highlights real-world applications that demonstrate the capabilities and impact of robotic odor source localization <a href="http://systems.Virtual:">systems.[]Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/486172

Getting the Best Out of Your Measurement RangeTrends in modern wireless communications, including the use of massive MIMO and millimeter wave frequencies, have supported an increased deployment of electrically large antennas. This created technical and economic challenges as many EMC or regulatory tests require a far-field condition. This talk provides an overview of the recent findings in defining the shortest possible far-field test distance, depending on the size of the device under test, its operation frequency, the target metric and the upper bound acceptable measurement deviation. Practical ways are also described to determine the maximum antenna aperture size that can be tested in the far-field at a given frequency and for a maximum error, in an existing chamber with a defined range <a href="http://length.Speaker(s):" target="_blank" title="length.Speaker(s):">length.Speaker(s): Benoit DeratRoom: BA 2135, Bldg: Bahen Centre for Information Technology, 40 St George Street, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, M5S 2E4
