A team of researchers from Tel Aviv University has developed a robot with a sense of smell. It was created by combining antennae taken from desert locusts with an electronic system, and artificial intelligence tools were used for signal analysis. According to the study, the robot can identify smells with 10,000 times more sensitivity than commonly used electronic devices.
