Abstract: Gas leakage detection in industrial environments is a critical safety challenge due to the rapid dispersion and invisibility of hazardous gases such as ammonia, methane, and hydrogen sulfide. Conventional gas sensing technologies often suffer from limitations in sensitivity, selectivity, and response time, particularly in turbulent conditions. This paper presents a bio-inspired UAV-based system for real-time odor detection and localization. The proposed system utilizes advanced sensing and signal processing techniques to detect volatile compounds with high sensitivity. To achieve efficient source localization, a biologically inspired cast-and-surge search algorithm is implemented, enabling the UAV to navigate odor plumes by alternating between upwind movement during detection (surge) and crosswind exploration during signal loss (cast). To further enhance performance, a plume-based modeling algorithm is integrated, which improves detection capability in highly dispersed and turbulent gas conditions. This addition significantly enhances the practicality, robustness, and efficiency of the system in real-world industrial environments. The system operates autonomously with onboard processing and navigation modules. Experimental results demonstrate improved localization accuracy (below 1 m), faster convergence, and enhanced selectivity compared to conventional systems. The proposed approach provides an effective and scalable solution for gas leak detection in industrial environments.
