Machine olfaction

Machine olfaction is the automated simulation of the sense of smell. This technology is still in the early stages of development, but it promises many applications, such as:

* quality control in food processing
* detection and diagnosis in medicine
* detection of drugs, explosives and dangerous or illegal substances
