Older versions of cognitive-space controller robots can still be found on the outskirts of civilization.
These are steampunk perfumer robots. Before the development of wireless control systems and the forced installation of implants in 99.9% of the planet’s population, aerosol-based robots were common. They were shiny bronze or silver machines.
Rounded, ergonomic shapes — somewhat reminiscent of athletes and 1920s sports cars.
They fell out of use because they were not environmentally friendly. The various types of aroma stimulators they carried in replaceable cartridges were intended to deliver both general and targeted scents.
When used in crowds this produced unpredictable reactions. To suppress the consequences, the robots were given physical force so they could neutralize objects that lost control.
They were direct heirs to gendarmes and police. The first significant step toward total control not by brute force but by managing the glands of human beings and secretion through fragrances and stimulants.
But this so-called humanity had not yet evolved into its more advanced form — the cognitive-space controller robot based on infrared radiation and radio waves.
The perfumer robots, as they were nicknamed after the film “Perfume,” inspired their creators. The same people who researched past products and released Nachos were involved. Their experience in neuromarketing research was valued by the defense industry.
The first aerosol-based controller robots entered service.
