The invention relates to a biologically inspired artificial olfactory method and system designed in such a way that it has at least one partition with at least two nostrils, each nostril being designed with particular characteristics. This artificial nose allows the detection of the direction of origin of a smell. The partition is used to separate the air flows outside the olfactory system. In this way, the environment can be measured in two different positions at the same time. These measurements reflect different reaction times and concentrations, and can therefore be used to calculate the direction of origin of the smell. Each nostril has an air chamber that allows the performance of the main biological processes that take place inside the nose. These processes are: inhalation, division, conduction, sensing, processing, transformation of air or filtering of smells and expulsion.
