ICub humanoid robot over which for several years Peter Ford Domini’s team is working, now he has learned to understand human speech. And not only understand, but also predict that will be said the next second. This technological miracle has become possible thanks to the development of simplified artificial brain, which reproduces certain types of so-called “periodic” connections in the human brain. Artificial brain lets the robot learn. When he understands the meaning of new sentences containing new grammatical structures for it, then able to tie two sentences together and even predict what the sentence will end before it is uttered to the end. At This is especially surprising at the speed – iCub practically analyzes speech in real time. For example, the human brain processes information from the first words of the sentence heard and suggests how will it end. But the brain is constantly revising its predictions based on the interaction between new information and earlier existing context – that is, has the ability to doubt and analyze. The area in the brain where frontal connections are made The cortex and striatum plays an important role in this process. On the based on this study Peter Ford Domini and his team developed an “artificial brain” that uses “neurons construction, “like those used by the human brain. Thanks to the so-called periodic construction of the system artificial brain can understand new sentences with new grammatical structures. This study has another important meaning – soon robots can be taught the language in one day. “IN currently engineers are simply not able to program a robot for all occasions and bring in immense information. This is simply impossible, and, as our study shows, not at all necessary. Now we know that it’s enough to start teaching artificial brain, and he will continue to study himself, as they do children, “explains Peter Ford Domini. The study was published in PLoS One magazine.
