Ainos Reports Second Quarter 2026 Results and Highlights Continued AI Nose Execution Across Industrial, Healthcare Infrastructure and Robotics Markets
HOUSTON, TX / ACCESS Newswire / August 3, 2026 /Ainos, Inc. (NASDAQ:AIMD)(NASDAQ:AIMDW) ( "Ainos " or the "Company ") today announced results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2026, and provided a business update on continued execution progress for AI Nose across semiconductor manufacturing, industrial infrastructure, robotics, and healthcare-related environments.
Eddy Tsai, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented:
"We believe AI is increasingly expanding beyond understanding text, images, and speech toward interpreting real-world environmental information. This vision continues to guide Ainos ' commercialization strategy for AI Nose. We believe future semiconductor manufacturing, industrial infrastructure, healthcare environments, and robotics applications will increasingly require intelligent environmental awareness, and AI Nose continues to advance steadily toward that objective. "
"During the first half of 2026, we continued executing our commercialization roadmap by expanding AI Nose deployments across semiconductor manufacturing, industrial infrastructure, healthcare, and robotics environments. I believe these deployments not only support commercial applications, but also continuously expand our real-world environmental dataset, strengthen our Smell ID dataset, and enhance the learning and environmental pattern recognition capabilities of our Smell Language Model (SLM), enabling our Smell AI Platform to continue evolving. "
"Since December 2025, AI Nose has accumulated approximately 613 million industrial smell data records, primarily from semiconductor manufacturing environments. We believe these growing real-world datasets represent an important foundation for the long-term development of Smell AI. We believe every new deployment expands application opportunities while further strengthening our platform 's ability to recognize and understand diverse environmental patterns, allowing our Smell AI Platform to continuously learn and evolve through real-world experience. "
"We are encouraged by the progress of our commercialization activities. As existing deployments continue to advance, strategic collaborations expand, and additional real-world data strengthens the platform, we remain focused on executing our commercialization strategy, expanding real-world applications, and steadily advancing the long-term development of our Smell AI Platform. "
Christopher Lee, Chief Financial Officer of Ainos, added, "Our second-quarter results reflect Ainos ' continued execution of its commercialization strategy. We are focused on supporting AI Nose deployments across semiconductor manufacturing, industrial infrastructure, healthcare, and other real-world environments while advancing commercialization initiatives and expanding strategic collaborations that strengthen the Company 's long-term foundation. We continue to believe our activities will help support broader revenue generation opportunities in the second half of 2026. "
Mr. Lee continued, "We remain committed to disciplined capital allocation and financial management while supporting our core commercialization strategy, technology development, and deployment priorities. We will continue focusing on operational efficiency, strategic deployment activities, and financial discipline as we execute our long-term commercialization strategy. "
Second Quarter 2026 and Recent Operational Highlights
Advanced deployments associated with the previously announced initial $2.1 million commercial arrangement in backend semiconductor manufacturing environments.
Continued pilot programs in selected front-end semiconductor environments.

Continued robotics-related pilot and deployment activities.
Supported use-case expansion through channel and integration partnerships.
Continued development of Smell ID datasets and smell language model capabilities using deployment and pilot data.
Ainos is focused on execution, deployment, Smell ID dataset expansion, smell language model development, and strategic commercial expansion, supporting its long-term objective of advancing AI Nose as a scalable Smell AI platform for real-world infrastructure environments.
About AI Nose
AI Nose digitizes scent into Smell ID, an AI-driven form of scent intelligence. The full-stack electronic nose platform integrates high-precision MEMS sensor arrays with proprietary AI algorithms designed to support ppb-level scent detection sensitivity, subject to application conditions and deployment configurations. Smell ID converts analog scent signals into structured, actionable data, while the proprietary Smell Language Model (SLM) is designed to learn, classify, and contextualize complex scent patterns over time.
Built upon more than a decade of accumulated scent data and deep medtech expertise, AI Nose is designed to support continuous monitoring, predictive analysis, and real-time alerts across industrial and manufacturing environments. AI Nose is offered under a SmellTech-as-a-Service architecture, intended to support ongoing access to scent intelligence, analytics, and AI-driven insights through subscription-based deployment models.
