In a new study published in February 2020 in the journal Science Advances, researchers report the development of a nanoscale device that acts like the brain's visual cortex to directly see things in its path. The scientists created a new superstructure through the use of two nanomaterials in tandem that could help to make a machine that uses AI to simulate a human mind's function. Researcher Jayan Thomas says, "This is a baby step toward developing neuromorphic computers, that can simultaneously process and memorize information.
At some time in the future, this invention may help to make robots that can think like humans." The big advantage of the current approach is in its saving of energy for processing as well as the time required for computation. The UCF-developed device is an important step in the fields of AI and robotics. Another researcher, Tania Roy, predicted that the new…
