Using sample matching technology, mechanically enhanced, electronic blades from IBM can find out the composition of liquids.
Previously, with Watson technology, IBM technology group created a convincing artificial brain. Now, the company has moved to other parts of the human body.
Developed by IBM Research computer scientists, AI-powered electronic blades are a handheld device equipped with a special sensor that allows to taste and identify different types of liquids.

The portable electronic tongue in the form of a sensor array will be embedded in different liquids to sample the taste and chemical composition. Using pattern matching technology, is enhanced by machine learning. It can find out the composition of the liquid based on the available data set.
In a meeting at the 11th World Scientific Journalist Conference in Lausanne, Switzerland. The electronic tongue has proven its ability by distinguishing bottled water brands. This device gives accurate and consistent results after many attempts.
A clear application for this technology will be in the food industry. This device can be used for things like wine sampling.
In fact, this tool can be used to check the source quality, origin and determine the liquid composition. In addition, it can also be used in medicine such as sampling biological substances, diagnosing urine samples.
The next step for the portable Electronic tongue project is to create a liquid data warehouse that serves different situations.
