Robotic dog, girl evaluate smelly breath, stinky feet – AJW by The Asahi Shimbun.

The latest advancement in robotics are two automatons designed to bluntly inform you that it’s time to brush your teeth or change your socks.

Robot maker CrazyLabo and the Kitakyushu National College of Technology, both in Fukuoka Prefecture, have developed a female humanoid and a dog robot that sniff a person’s breath and feet and use snarky remarks and exaggerated reactions to encourage offenders to do something about their breath and body odor.

The female robot, Kaori-chan, has brown hair and blue eyes. When a person breathes in her face, she analyzes and quantifies components in their breath, and evaluates the smell on a scale of one to four.

If their breath smells good, Kaori-chan says, “It smells like citrus!”
