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.

  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.

 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.
