Robot is about to brain like human?

Humans are about to enter a new era of technology in which computers and robots can feel, act and even think through the use of a network similar to our own.

Experts from Google and Facebook have been applying the principles of neuroscience to developing artificial brains hoping to neutralize their data problems. Qualcomm, based in San Diego, is also planning to launch its first commercial chip inspired by the human brain.

The Qualcomm chip is expected to hit the market this year, the New York Times reported. It will be able to automatically perform tasks that require elaborate programming, as well as simulate human perceptions, actions, and thoughts.

In practice, this means that the new chip can avoid and tolerate errors to dramatically improve everything from face recognition and voice to navigation and planning. In the long term, this technology will pave the way for the emergence of intelligent systems that can perform tasks in the same way, or even better than humans.

The chip is currently being developed by an IBM-owned company and is working with Qualcomm to develop the SyNAPSE project, launched in 2009, using a network of interconnected "neural adapters" . and can be shaped. The memory of the chip acts as a synapse in the brain, while microprocessors act as neurons and transmissions such as nerve fibers.

The chips have been designed to replicate and improve the brain's ability to respond to biological sensors, analyzing huge amounts of data from multiple sources at once.

IBM has also announced a new programming architecture for the chip, which will allow developers to design applications after the chip launches this year.
