Probably one of the most crucial aspects of research in mobile olfaction is the design of the experiments that enable to study and develop systems for airborne chemical monitoring. A major technical difficulty is that the dispersion of chemicals in natural environments is difficult to observe since most chemicals produce an invisible plume. In a non-artificial environment, the plume evolution is also difficult to predict a priori due to the chaotic dispersal of gas. In this paper we showed results obtained in four experimental scenarios ranging from a closed room to outdoor areas. In the presented experiments different experimental platforms have been used in order to try to minimize the effect of the choice of a specific robotic system on the presented results.
