Hidden across airport security are sniffer dogs who use their sense of smell to sniff out trouble, and harness an ability X-ray scanners simply don't have. But what if we could make a half-robot-half-animal being that could smell like us? A sniffer cyborg?Scientists from Tel Aviv University in Israel announced that they developed the first robot that can "smell" using a biological sensor — a locust's antenna. Basically, the team first used a "unique device" to prolong a real locust antenna's life. They then connected the antenna to a small, wheeled robot to replicate how scent receptors in humans explore the world. Then exposed it to a bunch of different scents and recorded the activity. This allowed the team to realize that their robot was differentiating between all the odors, and that it had worked.Tap the link in our bio to read more. 🐶🤖#eRobots #Safety #Robotics
