With biological components of chemical sensing systems becoming well understood in terms of their structure and function, it is now possible to consider biomimetic models of olfaction and how they may be translated into functional engineering devices. This book presents an innovative interdisciplinary biomimetic approach to olfaction, including biology, hardware, software, and sensors. The text explores contributions to the realization of novel chemical sensing systems inspired by biological pathways, describing cutting-edge research such as engineering aspects of olfaction, odor coding of neurons, chemical sensor arrays, and biologically modeled sensor robots.
