| ABSTRACT |
A mobile Hybrid Artificial Taste and Smell system for water quality monitoring HATS4aqua wasa designed to detect the variations in taste and smell of water (water supply,drinking water,factories,agriculture plantation and etc) using similar principles as humans in detecting/tasting. The quality of water is not only monitored by its smell, but also by its taste. the system can be intergrated with wireless sensors networks (WSN) system to allow not just topical monitoring of water quality , but also remote monitoring of the chain of the water supply such as rivers and reservoirs. sensors may be changed/adapted for other applications such as monitoring of fermentations process or quality assurance. Therefore, this research presented the development of a hybrid system combining an electronic nose and tongue. Both sub-systems were developed using off-the -shelff components and rapid prototyping tecniques and consist of an array of gas sensors and taste sensors as shown.
