Ever got bored of sniffing cheeses and tasting wine? Why not have a robot do it for you!
Researchers at NEC and Mie University in Japan have designed a robot that can taste and identify dozens of various wines, cheeses, and hors d'oeuvres.
A green and white prototype robot with eyes, a head and mouth was unveiled last month. The robot's left arm is equipped with an infared spectrometer that fires off a beam of infared light when objects are placed up against the sensor. The reflected light is analyzed in real time to determine the object's chemical composition and even alert possible health issues (i.e. salty or fatty foods).
