Water Tower Research Fireside Chat with Ainos: AI Nose Powering SmellTech Expansion and Scalable Value Creation
AI Nose advances through a dual-engine architecture, enabling scalable deployments
Industrial and semiconductor deployments broaden Ainos' commercial footprint
Robotics momentum accelerates data flywheel growth and commercial scale-up in 2026
HOUSTON, TEXAS / ACCESS Newswire / February 4, 2026 / Ainos, Inc. (NASDAQ:AIMD)(NASDAQ:AIMDW) ("Ainos" or the "Company"), a SmellTech platform company digitizing scent as a native data language for artificial intelligence, today announced that Water Tower Research ("WTR") has published a report highlighting Ainos' SmellTech expansion, its value-creation strategy supported by a dual-engine architecture, and priorities for scaled execution in 2026. The report draws insights from a management fireside chat on January 26, 2026.
Key Highlights from the Report:
AI Nose advances as a foundational AI perception platform for digital olfaction: Ainos is positioning AI Nose as a core platform that converts scent into standardized, machine-readable Smell IDs and trains a proprietary Smell Language Model ("SLM"). Built on 13 years of high-precision healthcare development, the platform enables AI systems to interpret complex real-world environments through smell and supports expansion into continuous, high-throughput industrial applications.
Dual-engine architecture supports scalable intelligence and recurring value creation: Ainos is positioned to control the physical sensing hardware and real-world data generation, while its wholly owned subsidiary, ScentAI, is positioned to deliver intelligence as a service. This structure is designed to support scalable deployments, recurring subscription economics, and long-term stewardship of proprietary smell data as the platform expands.
Deployments in semiconductors anchor AI Nose expansion as a cross-stage intelligence platform: Ainos has secured multi-year semiconductor back-end orders totaling approximately $2.1 million for about 1,400 AI Nose units, marking commercial expansion into higher-volume industrial environments. Building on this foundation, partnerships with Trusval Technology and Topco Scientific extend deployments upstream into front-end wafer fabrication, expanding AI Nose's presence across both front-end and back-end semiconductor operations and supporting broader industrial scale-up.
Robotics adoption accelerates real-world data compounding into 2026: Growing momentum in robotics, supported by pilot programs and a technology partnership with Taiwan-based Mirle Automation Corporation, expands AI Nose into autonomous and robotic systems. These deployments are expected to generate continuous real-world scent data, strengthen the Smell ID library, reinforce the data flywheel, and support long-term platform compounding.
"AI Nose is scaling as an AI perception platform that enables machines to understand the physical world through scent," said Eddy Tsai, Chairman, President, and CEO of Ainos, Inc. "As deployments expand across semiconductors and robotics, our dual-engine architecture supports data compounding, recurring value creation, and long-term scalability as smell becomes a native data layer for AI."

About AI Nose
AI Nose digitizes scent into Smell ID, an AI-driven form of scent intelligence. The full-stack electronic nose platform integrates high-precision MEMS sensor arrays with proprietary AI algorithms designed to support ppb-level scent detection sensitivity, subject to application conditions and deployment configurations. Smell ID converts analog scent signals into structured, actionable data, while the proprietary Smell Language Model (SLM) is designed to learn, classify, and contextualize complex scent patterns over time.
Built upon more than a decade of accumulated scent data and deep medtech expertise, AI Nose is designed to support continuous monitoring, predictive analysis, and real-time alerts across industrial and manufacturing environments. AI Nose is offered under a SmellTech-as-a-Service architecture, intended to support ongoing access to scent intelligence, analytics, and AI-driven insights through subscription-based deployment models.
