But with some tweaking there can be various artifical organs that function as sensors. | But with some tweaking there can be various artifical organs that function as sensors. | ||
β | The simplist case would be a air quality alarms used in mining automatons. It is a simple bag of bacteria that flashes when the air quality dips below a certain piont. The automaton has a designated "eye" that watch for this flash. So technically it "sees" ordors but it is functionally the same. More complex sensors are available on advanced models. Some simpler models may not be as good as deciphering the data and say, "It smells blue."

Keep in mind taste and smell are very similar. For the sake of argument we can define them as "smell" and "smell on contact." Some chef automatons have particularly acute smell/taste sensors installed on their fingertips so they can taste by poking the food. | Keep in mind taste and smell are very similar.
