Episode notes
Digital Olfaction vs. Vision
- Digital olfaction has no standard like RGB in vision, making smell digitization challenging.
- Aryballe uses peptides, mimicking biological noses, combined with machine learning to address this.
Use Cases of Digital Olfaction
- Aryballe works with fragrance suppliers and the food industry to verify raw material quality.
- They also have use cases in automotive odor control and consumer appliance applications like smart fridges.
Electronic Nose Technology
- Aryballe's electronic nose uses silicon photonics with grafted peptides to capture odor signatures.
- This data is then processed using machine learning models for classification and other analyses.
