From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

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
