A robot operating with a small brain composed of living rat neurons able to ‘learn’ behavior as avoiding a wall, was developed at the University of Reading (England) by followers of Frankenstein.
“We have already given him a certain learning by repetition, since it reproduces certain actions”, told AFP the head of the multidisciplinary team, Kevin Warwick. “But now we want him to learn behavior,” he said.
The brain’s biological robot, named Gordon, was created from neurons taken from a rat. They were placed in a solution, separated and then placed on a bed of sixty electrodes. Read more »
The Japanese Honda, in particular specialized in industrial robots, has demonstrated the use of a scanner for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI or magnetic resonance imaging) that detects brain signals and transmit them to a robot in order to drive Hand artificially. Lorsque the person in the MRI has waved his hand and made the sign ‘V’, the robot’s hand movements has reproduced! The system is still limited to the detection of a few simple gestures, and it will take time before being decoded complex movements. Similarly, we have to evolve singularly PMI technologies to reduce the size and weight. However, the “brain machine interface ‘, the interface between the human brain and machine, developed by Honda Research Institute Japan, opens up new perspectives. Read more »
