<a href="http://www.scn.org/~mentifex/aisource.html"> Mind.forth AI </a> leaves room for "scent" (or OLFACTION) in Forth Screen # 15 out of 90 from the public domain release of the Mind.forth program which seeks to integrate computer architecture with robot and brain architecture: Screen # 15 ram:cyborg -------------------------------- 0 \ <a name="olfaction1"> OLFACTION stub routine</a> 980505atm 1 \ This area of Mind.forth (or of Mind.xyz) is reserved for 2 \ roboticists who have access to the "sniffing" machines used 3 \ in such industries as wine and cheese-making. 4 5 \ Since the (expensive and very high-tech) hardware already 6 \ exists for the machine detection and identification of smells, 7 \ any robot AI must make allowances for the incorporation of a 8 \ sense of smell (OLFACTION) into the machine intelligence. 9 10 \ The Wall Street Journal thurs.30.apr.1998 p. B8 reports that 11 \ Cyrano Sciences Inc. of Pasadena CA USA plans to develop four 12 \ chips each having 8 vapor sensors for a total of 32 sensors. 13 \ Other artificial nose companies are Alpha M.O.S. SA of France; 14 \ Neotronics Scientific Ltd. and AromaScan PLC of England. 15 \ OLFACTION will return to the SENSORIUM function. --------------------------------
