Ainos, Inc. a pioneer in AI-driven scent digitization, announced the official debut of its proprietary AI Nose platform at COMPUTEX 2025, alongside ugo, Inc, Japan's top service robotics company. This milestone marks the first public demonstration of real-time robotic olfaction-a new sensory category poised to transform smart robotics, environmental AI, and safety infrastructure.

This year's COMPUTEX theme, "AI Next," positions Ainos and its partners at the center of a global shift where AI expands beyond sight and sound-into scent, the final frontier of machine perception.

Smell: The Next AI Token

AI Nose, first developed for healthcare and now expanding its use into robotics and smart manufacturing, digitizes scent into Smell IDs using MEMS gas sensor arrays and machine learning models built on 13 years of deep research. Inside Ainos' AI lab, engineers train these Smell IDs through deep learning, achieving over 99% accuracy during initial model development. In live deployments, AI Nose delivers approximately 90% accuracy in healthcare and 80% in semiconductor environments. This Smelltech transforms invisible chemical signals into real-time, actionable insights, enabling robots and edge AI systems to detect safety threats, hygiene issues, and diagnostic markers that traditional sensors miss.

The electronic nose (e-nose) market is projected to grow to $76.5 billion by 2032, driven by demand in robotics, industrial monitoring, healthcare, and environmental sensing. Ainos' AI Nose platform is strategically positioned to capture leadership in this expanding SmellTech frontier, through partnerships with the world's largest semiconductor packaging and testing company and ugo, Japan's service robotics company.

At COMPUTEX 2025, ugo and Ainos are revealing the industry-leading robotic system with SmellTech, showcasing AI-powered scent digitization for smart infrastructure, elder care, and industrial safety applications. Visit Booth InnoVEX S0324 at Taipei Nangang Exhibition Center, Hall 2 (TaiNEX 2).

"We are giving machines a new sense-the power to smell-and that changes everything," said Chun-Hsien (Eddy) Tsai, CEO of Ainos. "At COMPUTEX 2025, we are not just showing a new product-we're unlocking an entirely new category of machine intelligence. As the global tech community converges around ‘AI Next,' Ainos is leading the charge by opening up smell as a new signal for AI models, real-world robotics, and edge computing infrastructure."
