A team of researchers at Singapore ’s Agency for Science , Technology and Research ( A*STAR ) , have developed a simulated version of artificial grid cells that would enable a robot to navigate a room without the use of sensors . Humans use two neurons , place and grid cells , which work together to recall a robot and retrieve information about the surrounding space . A robot successfully navigated around the room during a test , using the recall ability and 3D positioning capabilities of the artificial cells . The researchers believe this technology will be used to improve the navigation of robots in the future .
A team of researchers at Singapore’s Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR), have developed a simulated version of artificial brain cells that would enable a robot to navigate a room without the use of sensors. Humans use two neurons, place and grid cells, which work together to recall a location and provide information about the surrounding space. A robot successfully navigated around the room during a test, using the recall ability and 3D positioning information of the artificial cells. The researchers hope this technology will be used to improve the navigation of robots in the future.
