Japan develops robot to detect bad breath, foot odor

Knowing how your breath smells makes you feel guilty and makes people around you unhappy, but how do we know how we smell in order to have a way to cope?

Recently, Japanese scientists said they have successfully developed a generation of robots capable of recognizing the smell of the body, emanating from the mouth and from the feet. This robot pair consists of Kaori - a robot-shaped head and a dog named Shuntaro .

The project was launched by Kennosuke Tsutsumi, president of the Japanese robotics company CrazyLabo, and co-developed with Kitakyushu University of Technology. Accordingly, Kaori (meaning "fragrance" in Japanese) is responsible for measuring your breath, just breathless innocent girl and wait a bit, the results will be quickly returned with four levels corresponding to the taste of the breath of the tester, including no smell, acceptable, foul smelling and very foul.

Similarly, the Shuntaro robot will do the trick to smell the taste of the tester's feet to indicate whether the foot odor or not. When it smells bad, Shuntaro will bark, if it smells worse then it will lie down and growl, worse the dog will "faint" . There are about 10 students from Kitakyushu University who have volunteered to develop this project, by eating tainted foods such as garlic, fermented tofu, and washing socks for days without washing, to help the robot recognize odors. foul.
