Artificial nose shaped dog tip
Researchers have been looking for artificial nose for some time. There are already sensors that separate odors, but they are not as sensitive as you want. Now, to get a better artificial nose, the dog snout has been taken as a model.
Researchers at Tufts University in the USA believe that the dog's olfactory capacity is related to the structure of its end. Dogs and other mammals have a labyrinth structure in the nose; through computer scanners, this internal structure of the dog has been copied into plastic material, where the sensors have been dispersed.
The result has been very good: this artificial nose is 10% better than conventional sensors to differentiate the odors of rum and vodks. Other researchers have shown that the flow of air taken through the nose also influences; changing the flow of air has managed to improve the result.
