[Frontier] Spelling a Neural Circuit: Learning and Developing Neuro-Robots from the Human Brain

With the development of multi-disciplines, the application fields of robots are also broad, including the neurological fields involved in biology and medicine.

At the just-concluded 2016 World Robot Conference, Alois C. Knoll, a professor from the Technical University of Munich, Germany, gave a lecture on neuro-robots. He not only reviewed history but also thought about the future.

Simulating the human nervous system

In May of this year, German scientists developed an artificial nervous system based on “research achievements on human pain”. Researchers said that it can allow robots to “detect and identify unexpected objects and interferences, and analyze possible The harm it caused, and make an appropriate response." To test the system, the researchers installed a finger-like sensor on the robot arm to detect pressure and temperature. Allegedly, this system not only allows the robot to respond quickly to potential dangers, protects itself from harm, but also protects the human companions who work with the robot.

In August, Japan developed the humanoid robot “Alter”. It has 42 pneumatic transmissions throughout its body and its brain is a “central model generator” (CPG). Neural networks in CPGs can replicate neurons so that robots can develop their own unique patterns of motion. Of course, factors affecting its movement are distance, temperature, noise, and humidity. In simple terms, the sensor is Alter's skin. Although it is quite different from human beings, you will feel that this guy is alive.

And these are only part of the field of neuro-robots. At the forum, AloisC.Knoll said that in order to better develop the brain, Europe launched a related flagship project - the European Human Brain Project (HBP), which contains three different research directions: First It is the medicine of the future, the second is the neuroscience of the future, and the third is the calculation of the future. "We can learn from the human brain how to build a supercomputer, and we can build tomorrow's robot. If we can understand the human brain more thoroughly, the future of medicine can make brain diseases better diagnosed and treated." AloisC .Knoll said.

Modeling the brain

How to make the robot's brain "mimic" more like the human brain? The answer given by scientists is to study the molecular aspects of human brain structure and try to deeply understand the situation of human brain cells, and then complete the "puzzle" and restore the brain. "We know that brain modeling and simulation are our intelligence and the core of robot intelligence," explains Alois C. Knoll.
