Zusammenfassung

Human olfaction is a very efficient sensory system. Early on it was recognized that the mere detection of a given set of molecules is not enough for an electronic analogue of human olfaction. An artificial nose requires not only sensation but perception - the interpretation of sensation in light of experience. This can be achieved by using large empirical datasets of human perception and methods of artificial intelligence. A breakthrough of perceptive electronics (perceptronics) can only happen in a concerted effort of science, engineering and medicine which stringently builds on recen...
