Episode 39: The smell of future mobility, feat. Tristan Rousselle, Aryballe

Ride: The Urban Mobility Podcast

GUEST: Tristan Rousselle, Founder & CEO, Aryballe
ABOUT THIS EPISODE
What is digital nose technology? And what role could it play in future mobility?
Our guest on this episode is Tristan Rousselle, founder and CEO of Aryballe, a digital olfaction firm that uses biochemical sensors, advanced optics, and machine learning to detect odour and turn it into data. This data is worth little, however, without a database behind it, and Aryballe’s USP is a searchable digital library of smells.
In this episode, we talk about Aryballe’s digital nose technology, the origins of the company, how digital olfaction can be used in automotive and future mobility applications, domestic robots with noses in their fingers, and of course, cheese, wine, and fish odours.
