We are the sensors, silicon, AI, and infra that enable robots to navigate by scent and perceive the chemical world around them.

The S1 olfactory processing unit is Scentience silicon that powers the next generation of molecular sensing and computational chemistry. With significant upgrades from S0, the new S1 enables real-time scent tracking and chemical analysis that can be packaged into a variety of form factors for any robotics application.
Each chip is designed to work seamlessly with the Scentience APIs.

Each instrument houses a dedicated Olfactory Processing Unit (OPU) with custom silicon specifically design for advanced robotic perception.

Our custom olfactory sensors exhibit multispectral detection at several Hz, making Scentience sensors the fastest chemical effectors on the market.

Our AI and robotics APIs are inherently multimodal. Each model fuses olfaction, vision, language, audio, and kinematic data together for deep contextual understanding.

Our hardware and AI are reviewed by experts across robotics, perfumery, animal science, neuroscience, biochemistry, and food science for proper human-machine alignment.

Olfactory data had no ImageNet, so we created it. With devices deployed in several countries, no other company is collecting real-world olfactory data at our scale.

The OPU contains a patented architecture for maintaining an extremely low energy budget. When sensors aren't in use, they give power back to the OPU for longer deployments.
Available now on the Apple App Store is the world's first fully unified olfaction-vision-language-model (OVLM) that runs completely at the edge. Complementing the OVLM is our OVL-Action Model specifically designed to facilitate scent-based navigation. Built to directly interact with both Scentience computers and general olfaction sensors, the app is a monumental first step toward a standardized IoT interface for olfaction.
Multiple Patents Granted and Pending

Scentience Sigma is an academic research effort to build a large chemistry dataset for robotics and AI called ScentNet. Data is collected through the Sigma app and olfactory research instrument.
We didn’t just build a first-of-its-kind olfaction device and AI ecosystem - we opened up our platform for development by those who want to build the future of superintelligence and perception for robotics.
“All brain evolution has taken place in the form of chemical sensing, or olfaction. It is thought to be the most primal pathway in understanding brain evolution.”
