18 February 2022, Schleswig-Holstein, Lübeck: The display of an artificial nose shows the smell of coffee in a laboratory of the Competence Center Communication, Systems and Applications (CoSA) at Lübeck University of Applied Sciences. The small computer with a pig's nose has four sensors and can easily distinguish between coffee, whiskey and room air. In the future, the artificial intelligence (AI) could also warn if, for example, the concentration of hazardous substances is too high at an industrial workplace.
