Breakthrough: Robots with Lab-Grown Brains and Human Skin Push AI Boundaries
July 2, 2024
Chinese scientists have developed a robot with an artificial brain using brain-on-chip technology.
This technology merges human brain-like tissue with a computer chip.
The brain-computer interface allows the robot to learn tasks such as obstacle avoidance and object manipulation.
Organoids grown from human pluripotent stem cells are linked to the robot's neural interface.
This connection enables communication between the neural tissue and the robot's systems.
Researchers in Japan have grafted living human skin onto a humanoid robot's face.
The grafted skin enhances the robot's sensing abilities and appearance.
These advancements represent significant progress in robotics and AI with potential applications in neurological repair and human health.
