Rat Neuron Cells Control New Robot
from the go-go-rat-power dept
Some researchers have built a robot that is controlled by rat neurons. It's not very graceful or useful at this point, but it's a melding of robotics and biology that could lead to many other uses. They say that what's learned from experiments like this could lead to self-healing computers that learn, and solutions to other computing problems where binary computing doesn't do the trick.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
