This is the first time in the world that a robot has been able to detect a smell in its surroundings using a biosensor, TAU said, adding that it even sent electrical signals that could be classified according to the smell type. In experiments, the researchers connected the biological sensor, based on a locust antenna, to an electronic system. Using a machine learning algorithm, they sorted odors with a sensitivity 10,000 times higher than existing electronic devices. The new biohybrid system could thus identify a wide range of smells, such as geranium, lemon, marzipan, and even some types of Scotch whisky, then the researchers were able to cre

Musashi Seimitsu Kogyo's AI Visual Inspection System

Currently, the company is introducing the inspection machine in the mass production line of its own plant, and when it sells the machine externally, it intends to make the price of the machine equivalent to the labor cost for inspection. In the future, Musashi Seimitsu will further improve the versatility of the AI algorithm so that multiple types of parts can be inspected with a single device. Musashi Seimitsu's mainstay products are gears, ball joints and other automotive drive components. In recent years, the company has been focusing on new businesses and is accelerating its efforts in the AI field, including the establishment of a joint venture with an Israeli AI venture in 2019. In the future, the company aims to achieve sales of 100 billion yen through new businesses. Photo taken on February 21, 2020, location unknown, credit: Nikkan Kogyo Shimbun / Kyodo News Images
