For decades, scientists have been striving to build a machine, who would think like a person. And now they believe that are just a few steps away from the finish line.
Pentagon-funded research team designed a tiny machine that allows robots to act independently. Unlike traditional artificial intelligence systems, which rely on conventional programming, this the machine “looks and thinks” like a human brain, “says Professor of Chemistry at the University of California James Gimzevsky.

Gimzevski is a member of a team that is supported by DARPA worked on a program of “physical intelligence”. This technology can be a secret to build completely autonomous robots.
According to him, this project does not use standard robotic stuffing with integrated circuits. A device designed by his team is capable of not being programmed like a traditional robot, perform actions just like a person does.
What sets this new device apart from any other is that mutually intersecting nanoconductors that form billions compounds, like neurons of the human brain, capable of remember various information. Each connection represents an artificial synapse. Due to the complex structure of the natural synapse, most previous artificial intelligence projects do not could reproduce it.
According to Gimzevsky, the device of “physical intelligence” is not will require human control, as it requires robot control. Possibilities of applying this technology surpass any imagination. For example, aircraft with such a system will be able to study and explore the terrain and pave their own way in space without human intervention.
Artificial intelligence studies over the past five decades could not reproduce the system of thinking and cognitive functions of man. But the study of the human brain revealed that one of its key features is self-organization.
“Apparently, this is a necessary preliminary prerequisite for autonomous behavior, “says Gimzevsky.” Instead having to transfer information from memory to a processor like this make traditional computers, our device processes information in a completely new way. ”
Development details are kept secret for now, but throughout Apparently, we have to witness a revolutionary breakthrough in robotics.
