CHINA-SWISS-SCIENTISTS-ENERGY-EFFICIENT BRAIN-LIKE CHIP (CN)

(240603) -- BEIJING, June 3, 2024 Photo by Xinhua/ABACAPRESS.COM) -- The undated combo image shows a diagram (L) and two photos of an energy-efficient sensing-computing neuromorphic chip dubbed "Speck," which mimics the neurons and synapses of the human brain. A team of Chinese and Swiss scientists has jointly developed an energy-efficient sensing-computing neuromorphic chip that mimics the neurons and synapses of the human brain. The human brain, capable of processing incredibly intricate and expansive neural networks, operates with a total power consumption of merely 20 watts, significantly lower than that of current AI systems. Therefore, neuromorphic or brain-like computing offers promising energy-saving machine intelligence.

The bionic eyes can realize smooth pursuit and eye-head coordination, but also process visual information like human. The technology has been adopted in fields like integrated circuit manufacturing and rail network monitoring. In the future, the bionic eyes could become a standard module for humanoid robots.

Robot mimics monkey walking on treadmill

KYOTO, Japan - A 1.55-meter-tall humanoid robot mimics the walk of a monkey on a treadmill (background) in an experiment conducted at a laboratory in Kyoto on Jan. 15. Electrical impulses in the monkey's brain were transmitted to the robot via a high-speed Internet connection from Duke University in North Carolina, directing the robot to mimic the monkey's motion. The experiment, conducted jointly by the Japan Science and Technology Agency and Duke University, demonstrates that human beings may be able to command robotic motion in the future simply by using brain impulses, according to Mitsuo Kawato, a senior member of the Japanese research team.
