Living brain cells wired on a computer chip have been developed to drive robots.
And the system on how to do it has been made available for free as an open-source system called MetaBOC.
The project aims to re-home lab-grown human brain cells in artificial bodies.
It was developed by Chinese scientists from the country’s Tianjin University and Southern University of Science and Technology.
The electrical activity of the brain is directly linked to an external chip, as part of ground-breaking research on the fusion of living things and machines.
MetaBOC can reportedly instruct a robot to avoid obstacles, track and grasp items as well as perform a variety of brain-like computing tasks.
Brain-on-chip systems are said to be an important emerging branch in the field of brain-computer interfaces,
Project leader Ming Dong from Tianjin said they are are expected to have a revolutionary impact on the development of cutting-edge science and technology fields such as hybrid intelligence and brain-like computing.
OPS: The team has released a demonstration diagram of what it calls “future application scenarios.” It shows how a large pink lab grown brain is inserted into a humanoid like robot It is purely for illustration and not a prototype.
