ENABLING DISTRIBUTED VOC SENSING APPLICATIONS: TOWARD TINYNOSE, A POLYMERIC WIRELESS E-NOSE

In this work, we present the development of a novel wireless e-nose platform designed for indoor distributed VOC detection and quantification. The proposed w-nose, called TinyNose, rely on a small polymeric sensor array that is connected to a commercial wireless mote by means of custom developed electronics. A custom developed software architecture allow for signal acquisition, processing and transmission to a data sink where data are stored and/or presented to the remote user. In this work a preliminary assessment of TinyNose capabilities to operate in open air configuration is conducted by using different source of indoor VOC pollution to be detected and classified by the developed architecture.
