Gas source localization via behaviour based robot and weighted arithmetic mean

This research is concerned with the localization of gas source in a dynamic indoor environment problem using a single mobile robot system. Since the environment is unknown to the robot, an intelligent algorithm is required to enable the robot to traverse through the environment without any interrup...
