Article "The bizarre $9,000 Japanese robot dog that sniffs out smelly feet (and will keel over if they're particularly pungent) (https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-4865122/New-Japanese-robot-dog-sniffs-smelly-feet.html)"
'Hana-chan' can smell a person's feet and detect how pungent the odor is
Smelly feet are an embarrassment in Japan, where shoes are removed in homes
The robot, which has an odor detection sensor for a nose, will bark if it detects moderately smelling feet, but will keel over if the pong is particularly pungent
