The Brain of the Computer

Even the most complex computer does not compare with the sheer magnificence of the human brain. Understanding how it works has been one of the most challenging scientific projects of the century. Replicating the actions of the brain is what most researchers feel will lead to the biggest advance in robotics.

The scientists at Stanford University have come up with faster and more energy efficient microchips based on the design of the human brain. These new computer brains are nearly 9,000 times faster than the chips currently powering computers in the market today. They also run on 40,ooo times less power than a traditional personal computer.

These improvements bode well for the field of robotics where this newly developed circuit board can be put to experimental use in improving the speed and complexity of movement of robots. It may be possible to have robots move almost as quickly and naturally as humans do when they use this new microchip for processing their actions.

There is still much experimentation to do, but the microchip with its speed and energy efficiency has opened up new frontiers in the worlds of both robotics and computers. New science experiments will only improve on what the scientists at Stanford have managed to achieve.
