With an objective to further detail how brain responds when the body is in motion, researchers in Europe have developed a robotic head based on a wheeled platform, which courtesy two cameras built-in working as its eyes, maneuvers about autonomously using human like visual processing. The movable head marks its surrounding and according measure its relative speed depending on the environment.
The robot has been stuffed with a simulated neural network, which works as our visual system. Therefore using an algorithms designed control to move about, the robot’s well engineered to replicate a host of human brain functions such as object recognition, motion estimation, and decision making which allows it to dodge obstacles and navigate about the space freely.
Brain’s back again to rescue researchers in their efforts to make robots that can compete with humans in almost all levels. Here the purpose of this project dubbed the Decisions in Motion is however to help robots to know how human’s navigate through obstacles and how the measure the distance and speed for the same. The researchers have managed success to an extent and if they are able to pull this off, we could have machines that’ll navigate through clutters more efficiently in the near future.
