Theodor: A Step Towards Smart Home Applications with Electronic Noses

This paper presents preliminary results of the ongoing project TheOdor which explores the potential of electronic noses that make use of commodity gas sensors (MOS, MEMS) for applications in the smarthome, for example, to classify human activities based on the odors generated by activities. We describe the system and its components and report on classification results from first validation experiments.
