Cognitive Anteater Robotics Lab, CARL was the name given to this robot with digital neurons programmed from real rat brains
Carl short for Cognitive Anteater Robotics Laboratory is the name given to the robot that was designed to think and act like a human being. His brain was modeled out from a rodent's brain, in order for researchers at Irvine and San Diego to study how humans adapt to the changes in their environment.
It has the ears of rodents, and it’s thinking with a computerized model of a rodent brain and interacting with the world through a “biologically plausible nervous system. Carls brain was programmed from brain recordings of real rats, and when it learns to adapt to the behaviors in the environment, researchers hope they can make further inferences how human brains work.
A collaborative study with researchers at UCSD ANDREA CHIBA, Douglas Nitz and Angela Yu, will evaluate the decision making capacity in rodents by altering their environment quickly and forcing them to adapt to this change.
Further development of this research will not only focus on medical applications, but also promises an advanced future for robotics research, allowing robots to act more humanly in complex and variable environments.
