Our brain is made up of neural circuits continuously evolving to solve complex day to day problems. While there are robots controlled with "organic brains" like the wheeled Robot with a Rat Brain of the University of Reading, for robots to move autonomously with an "evolving brain circuit" is far from reality.
Before, scientists and engineers alike would rely on sophisticated microprocessors and sensors to control the routines and functions of robots.
But just recently, researchers from Japan and Michigan have come up with the world's first brain-like "evolutionary circuit" that works just like the human brain (we hope so).
Being immensely analogous, this computer circuit allows immediate changes of ~300 bits unlike the world's fastest supercomputers which can only process bits one at a time in each of their networks.
The authors, Anirban Bandyopadhyay, from the National Institute for Materials Science, National Institute of Information and Communication Technology, Japan and Ranjit Pati, of the Michigan Technological University Department of Physics, described their work as phenomenal, being able to solve problems instantaneously without knowing which specific algorithms are at work.
