A group of Chinese researchers has created a robot with a brain made of human stem cells. The technology is technically a "brain-on-a-chip," and the researchers have been working to train the robot to ...

Watch our interview with Professor Kevin Warwick, School of Systems Engineering, and Dr Ben Whalley, School of Pharmacy (WAV – 57MB) A multidisciplinary team at the University of Reading has developed ...

Robot skin that senses touch and pain — and triggers instant reflexes — makes robots more like humans. It probably also makes ...

A group of scientists have wired a robot with human stem cells and attached a brain-computer interface, enabling the robot to complete tasks assigned to it. Human brains, much like computers, run on ...

Researchers have developed a large-scale computation system called “Robo Brain” which will teach robots everything they need to know using publicly available Internet resources. At present, the system ...

Researchers at UC Berkeley are working alongside those at other universities to build a large-scale online learning system called “Robo Brain” where robots can access a single, global database ...

The robot moves only under direction from his brain, which is a collection of 50,000-100,000 rat neurons. The researchers separated the neurons from rat fetuses, cultured them, and then spread them on ...

It’s a bizarre sight: With a short burst of light, a sponge-shaped robot scoots across a tiled surface. Flipped on its back, it repeatedly twitches as if doing sit-ups. By tinkering with the light’s ...

In an age of increasingly advanced robotics, one team has well and truly bucked the trend, instead finding inspiration within the pinhead-sized brain of a tiny flying insect in order to build a robot ...

Advancements in neuroscience and robotics have been separate, but this world's first study from Chinese researchers has now been delivered on a robot controlled by human brain cells alone. No, it is ...

Robotics player Boston Dynamics has offered its clearest look yet at how software will power its next-generation humanoid robot, the Atlas. In a 40-minute technical briefing posted on the company’s ...
