The gadget will take the form of a thin plastic strip, according to IEEE<\/em>, with a tiny processor and an array of organic semiconductors that detect “gaseous analytes” — chemical signs, apparently, that you’re giving off a nasty pong.<\/p> And because those gaseous analytes are complex, the system will employ machine learning<\/a> to analyze the data and decide whether it’s time for a fresh misting of the “hot chocolate” and “red peppercorn notes” from Axe’s Dark Temptation XL Body Spray.<\/p> The technology wouldn’t just provide relief for your family and coworkers. It could also potentially evaluate food freshness, according to IEEE<\/em> — possibly cutting into the 1.3 billion tons of food that went to waste in 2016<\/a>.<\/p> And, to be fair, it also represents a step forward for AI and sensor technology, which have become adept at recognizing sights and sounds but struggled to categorize smells.<\/p> READ MORE: <\/strong>Arm Leads Project to Develop an Armpit-Sniffing Plastic AI Chip<\/a> [IEEE Spectrum<\/em>]<\/p> More on smell technology: FeelReal Brings Sense of Smell To Virtual Reality<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p> View post: Underarmer Unilever\u00a0\u2014 that\u2019s the owner of prominent deodorant makers Axe and Dove\u00a0\u2014 has teamed up with an all-star squad\u00a0of academics and electronics manufacturers to create a machine learning-powered gadget that\u2019ll tell you if you have body odor.
