Japanese scientists have succeeded in the project they have been working on for a long time. Within the scope of the project, brain waves were transferred to the robot and it was allowed to think. The robot, which moved on its own, wandered through the labyrinth for minutes. Naturally, this scared people. Because robot and human wars are a frequent subject in science fiction movies.
SUCCESSFULLY TRAVELED IN THE MAZE
According to the news in Independent Turkish, Japanese scientists have developed the world’s first “thinking” robot that can find its way around walls and obstacles. The robot has brain-like neurons grown in a lab, and when its cells were electrically stimulated, the machine successfully navigated a small maze.
“GROWED FROM LIVING CELLS”
A technique called “physical reservoir computing” allows the robot to make sense of brain waves and overcome obstacles, the researchers said. “These nerve cells, or neurons, were grown from living cells,” said Professor Hirokazu Takahashi, co-author of the study.
A FIRST HAS BEEN
This is the first time a robot has been “taught” intelligence. The signals relayed environmental information as the robot progressed through the maze. If the AI vehicle took a wrong turn or headed in the wrong direction, the neurons in the cell culture were disturbed by the electrical pulse. The robot was fed continuous signals until it completed the task in a series of trials.
GIVEN FOR 50 YEARS
It is estimated that robots will do most of the work that humans currently do in 50 years. The scientist was inspired by the idea that intelligence arises from a mechanism that extracts coherence from a disordered or chaotic system. Using this principle, the robot triggers a “reservoir” of information that helps it understand and solve a problem.
