Water Tower Research Highlights Ainos' AI Nose Expansion into Robotics and Semiconductor Manufacturing - Smell ID Is Scaling

Strategic partnerships and industry-leading accuracy position Ainos as a game-changer in digitized scent technology

SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA / ACCESS Newswire / April 11, 2025 / Ainos, Inc. (NASDAQ: AIMD, AIMDW) ("Ainos" or the "Company"), a leader in AI-powered scent digitization, today announced that Water Tower Research ("WTR") has published a report spotlighting the Company's expansion of its AI Nose technology into the robotics and semiconductor sectors. The report features insights from a management fireside chat on April 8, 2025.

Key Highlights from the Report:

  • From Healthcare to Industrials- AI Nose Enters Robotics and Smart Manufacturing: Built on 13 years of R&D, Ainos' AI Nose digitizes scent into Smell IDs using MEMS sensors and proprietary AI models. While initially focused on healthcare, with applications in women's and senior care, the Company is rapidly expanding into robotics and smart manufacturing-broadening its commercial footprint across multiple high-impact verticals.

  • Strategic Partnerships Anchor Industrial Expansion: Ainos is expanding into high-growth industrial markets through strategic partnerships in robotics and semiconductors. In Japan (home to 38% of global robot production) a service robot company will integrate AI Nose into service robots operating in key areas such as office buildings, data centers and public infrastructure. A separate collaboration with the world's largest semiconductor packaging and testing company aligns AI Nose with smart factory initiatives to enhance maintenance, monitoring, and efficiency. These partnerships position Ainos for scalable deployment in key automation markets.

  • Scalable, Differentiated SmellTech: Ainos' proprietary AI makes AI Nose a scalable, adaptive, and intelligent SmellTech digital olfaction platform that outperforms conventional gas sensors or e-noses. It has shown nearly 80% accuracy across 22 VOC types in semiconductor settings and over 90% accuracy in women's health with Ainos Flora.

  • Execution Timeline Targets Multi-Billion Dollar Markets: With the e-nose market projected to reach $76.5B by 2032 and robotics $178.6B by 2030, Ainos is positioned to capitalize on this growth through the following milestones:

    • 1H 2025 - Mass production of elderly care product

    • 2H 2025 - Pilot deployment in robotics and semiconductor factories

    • 2026 - Industrial projects scale commercially
