| contents | While robotic perception has advanced rapidly in vision and touch, enabling robots to reason about indoor fungal contamination from weak, diffusion-dominated chemical signals remains an open challenge. We introduce Scensory, a learning-based robotic olfaction framework that simultaneously identifies fungal species and localizes their source from short time series measured by affordable, cross-sensitive VOC sensor arrays. Temporal VOC dynamics encode both chemical and spatial signatures, which we decode through neural networks trained on robot-automated data collection with spatial supervision. Across five fungal species, Scensory achieves up to 89.85% species accuracy and 87.31% source localization accuracy under ambient conditions with 3-7s sensor inputs. These results demonstrate real-time, spatially grounded perception from diffusion-dominated chemical signals, enabling scalable and low-cost source localization for robotic indoor environmental monitoring. |
