He his start-up project last year and called it Koniku. He has over $1 million in funding. Dr Agabi said his project is already making profits of $10 million. Technology giants like Google and Microsoft very interested in it. The security industry is also a close watch. Koniku could be in drones and smell bombs and explosives. It could also used in airport security systems to smell explosives. An additional use could be in hospitals to smell diseases in humans.

Dr Agabi did not Koniku on silicon chips. Agabi said computers have silicon for decades, but it is not powerful enough to with the maths needed to smells. Instead, he based his device on neurons from the brain of a mouse. Neurons are cells in the brain that information. They use electricity and chemical signals to and send information. Using neurons in computers is called biotechnology. Agabi said biotechnology can devices that can smell. He said: "Biology is technology. Bio is tech. Our deep learning networks all copying the brain." Agabi added: "We want to build a…system that intelligence. We do not want to a human brain. It's not science fiction."
