Humanoids with ample abilities and versatilities have already been developed, yet scientists see voids and make constant efforts to fill them. Newly developed software has fit in the biggest space, adding an ever growing and evolving brain to robots. It fits perfect because the main limitation that even the most multitalented robot suffers with is the fact that with every new graft of technology, after its construction, the robot has to undergo an entire redesign.
But with the development of the new biological mimicking software for the robot, by engineers at the Robert Gordon University in Aberdeen, that uses similar principles to the human brain learning process, with respect to evolving over time, performing operations etc, there would be no problem for the robot to adapt and grow with the new implants without redesigning of any sort.
A robot, the size of a book, composed of a set of interconnected processing nodes controlled by a neural network to help perform the desired actions, has been developed to test the given software, and with this introduction and successful results we stare into the face of a new era of robotic science, that’ll definitely deliver robots that’ll develop like humans.
