‘Thinking‘ robot with neurons grown in a lab from living brain cells is taught to steer its way around walls and obstacles
Japanese researchers have built a robot with brain-like neurons that were grown in the lab, in order to teach it to ‘think like us‘
In experiments at the University of Tokyo, the compact robotic vehicle on wheels, small enough to fit in a person‘s palm, was placed in a simple maze
The robot was connected to a culture of brain neurons, also known as nerve cells, that were grown from living cells
When these artificial neurons were electrically stimulated, the machine successfully reached its goal – a black circular box with LED lights
