“…Another potential application for macroscale MC is in robotics, which was initially inspired from pheromonal communication and olfaction from nature [144]- [146]. Generally, previous works in this area can be divided into two main streams: pheromone based communication inspired by nature [146]- [149], and plume or chemical tracking robots [144], [150]- [157]. Besides these applications, MC can also be used for robotics search and rescue operations, and robot communication in harsh environments such as sewer systems.…”

With much advancement in the field of nanotechnology, bioengineering and synthetic biology over the past decade, microscales and nanoscales devices are becoming a reality. Yet the problem of engineering a reliable communication system between tiny devices is still an open problem. At the same time, despite the prevalence of radio communication, there are still areas where traditional electromagnetic waves find it difficult or expensive to reach. Points of interest in industry, cities, and medical applications often lie in embedded and entrenched areas, accessible only by ventricles at scales too small for conventional radio waves and microwaves, or they are located in such a way that directional high frequency systems are ineffective. Inspired by nature, one solution to these problems is molecular communication (MC), where chemical signals are used to transfer information. Although biologists have studied MC for decades, it has only been researched for roughly 10 year from a communication engineering lens. Significant number of papers have been published to date, but owing to the need for interdisciplinary work, much of the results are preliminary. In this paper, the recent advancements in the field of MC engineering are highlighted. First, the biological, chemical, and physical processes used by an MC system are discussed. This includes different components of the MC transmitter and receiver, as well as the propagation and transport mechanisms. Then, a comprehensive survey of some of the recent works on MC through a communication engineering lens is provided. The paper ends with a technology readiness analysis of MC and future research directions.Comment: Accepted for publication in IEEE Communications Surveys & Tutorial

“…Seperti halnya mobile robot yang diaplikasikan pada lingkungan dengan permukaan datar untuk tujuan bergerak bebas. Seperti pada aplikasi mobile robot dalam pencari target sumber gas dengan memanfaatkan sensor pendukungnya seperti sensor gas yang dilakukan oleh Albornoz dkk [2], dan dengan penambahan kamera wireless oleh Herjuno dkk [3]. Nurmaini dkk [4] dan Husni dkk [5] juga membahas pencarian target aroma gas berbasis mobile robot dengan navigasi cerdas menggunakan fuzzy logic.…”

Teknologi yang berkembang dapat mempermudah aktivitas pekerjaan, salah satunya teknologi di bidang robotik. Salah satu tujuan robot diciptakan untuk membantu dalam investigasi target yang dicurigai. Target tersebut dapat berupa objek kebocoran sumber gas. Di sisi lain, kebocoran gas dalam kawasan industri mengakibatkan dampak yang besar bagi lingkungan. Robot sangat diperlukan untuk mempermudah dalam proses inspeksi target yang diduga kebocoran gas. Robot pada umumnya memiliki sistem yang terintegrasi dengan sensor sebagai interface dan komputasi cerdas. Pada penelitian ini telah dirancang mobile robot dan manipulator yang terintegrasi dan memiliki tujuan untuk menginspeksi objek yang diduga kebocoran gas. Sistem robot ini disebut manipulator mobile robot yang dilengkapi dengan kamera wireless untuk deteksi objek, dua buah sensor gas untuk deteksi aroma, masing-masing sensor dipasang pada end-effector manipulator dan di samping kamera. Adapun metode yang digunakan pada robot yaitu fuzzy logic dan cubic trajectory. Fuzzy logic digunakan untuk navigasi robot menuju objek, dan cubic trajectory untuk navigasi manipulator berdasarkan rute yang ditentukan. Pada percobaan yang telah dilakukan, mobile robot dapat bernavigasi menuju target sampai berhenti pada jarak 20cm, dan manipulator juga berhasil dalam bernavigasi. Dalam instrumen pengujian, telah ditentukan dua titik bocor. Masing-masing titik diuji sebanyak enam kali. Adapun robot berhasil dalam mendeteksi kebocoran gas dengan keberhasilan mencapai 91,67%, dan posisi koordinat yang terbaca oleh manipulator dapat diamati melalui monitor.
