Through its work with scientists at Princeton, Stanford, and Temple University, Aromyx has determined how to reproduce the biochemical signals sensing organs send to the brain and how to measure those signals in a meaningful way via its EssenceChip – which places human olfactory and taste receptors onto a disposable biochip with a digital readout. Incubated at Stanford’s StartX accelerator and the Plug and Play Ventures Materials program, Aromyx has partnered with Rewired to incorporate digital taste/smell technology into smart robots.
