This study introduces an artificial neural network (ANN) for image classification task, inspired by the aversive olfactory learning neural circuit in Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans). Although artificial neural networks (ANNs) have demonstrated re...
Odor source localization (OSL) technology allows autonomous agents like mobile robots to localize a target odor source in an unknown environment. This is achieved by an OSL navigation algorithm that processes an agent's sensor readings to calculate a...
Recently, the comprehension of odor perception has advanced, unveiling the mysteries of the molecular receptors within the nasal passages and the intricate mechanisms governing signal transmission between these receptors, the olfactory bulb, and the ...
