Lab / What is Aeralyte
The lab

A research lab giving machines a sense of smell.

Machines can already see, hear, move, and speak. They still mostly cannot smell — and smell is chemical information the physical world is full of.

What we build

Aeralyte is building the full smell intelligence stack, not a single gas sensor: controlled air sampling, compact electronic-nose arrays, on-device AI, calibration protocols, and rigorous experimental methods. The intelligence lives in the loop between air, sensor, model, protocol, and deployment.

The ladder

01 · SenseDetect chemical changes in air.
02 · InterpretClassify smell fingerprints.
03 · TraceLocate sources and understand context.
04 · PredictDetect risk before visible symptoms.
05 · SynthesizeModel and reproduce scent signatures.

Where we are now

We have designed the air-sampling protocol, a five-sensor electronic-nose array, the ESP32-S3 firmware, and the analysis pipeline that turns sensor responses into smell fingerprints. The hardware is on the bench now — we are bringing it up and moving into controlled chamber experiments.

What we are chasing first: repeatable smell fingerprints on real hardware, then tracing sources and predicting change earlier than the eye can.
