Ainos and ugo are piloting the world's first AI nose-enabled service robots in seven sites across Japan's industrial sector. The robots will operate in pharmaceutical manufacturing, facility management, energy operations, and water treatment plants. This marks a historic milestone in robotic perception, blending olfactory sensing with industrial AI. The pilot program is a step towards large-scale rollout and commercialization of SmellTech-as-a-Service in 2026.
Ainos, Inc. (NASDAQ:AIMD) and ugo, Inc. have jointly launched a pilot program featuring the world's first AI nose-enabled service robots across seven sites in Japan's industrial sector. The robots, powered by Ainos' proprietary AI Nose technology, will operate in pharmaceutical manufacturing, facility management, energy operations, and water treatment plants, marking a significant advancement in robotic perception and industrial AI.The AI Nose technology, which leverages a smell language model (SLM), enables the robots to perform intelligent facility inspections, predictive maintenance, and environmental alerts. This is achieved by converting scent data into actionable insights, a capability that could revolutionize various industrial sectors [1].
The pilot program is a crucial step towards the large-scale rollout and commercialization of Ainos' SmellTech-as-a-Service in 2026. Ainos and ugo's partnership signifies a major validation of the SmellTech model and represents strong interest from leading Japanese corporates across high-value industrial verticals [1].
Ainos, which specializes in AI-driven scent digitization, has secured strategic partnerships with ASE Technology Holding, Kenmec Mechanical Engineering Co., Ltd., and Solomon Technology Corporation to deploy AI Nose in various environments. These partnerships underscore the company's commitment to accelerating growth and enhancing long-term shareholder value [1].
The global electronic nose market is projected to grow from USD 29.79 billion in 2025 to USD 76.45 billion by 2032, with industrial applications representing the largest demand segment. Japan, with its high robot deployment rate, serves as a pivotal launchpad for Ainos' robotic project [1].
As part of Ainos' SmellTech-as-a-Service model, customers will gain access to subscription-based scent analytics, predictive alerts, and digital Smell ID profiles, turning previously invisible scent signals into actionable, revenue-generating intelligence [1].
