Chinese researchers have developed an intelligent brain-chip interaction system named “Meta BOC,” which enables the organic brain device to independently control robots for tasks such as obstacle avoidance, tracking, grasping, and performing brain-like computing functions.
This development comes from a joint study conducted by researchers from Tianjin University and the Southern University of Science and Technology.
According to the study, the brain-on-chip system consists of two main components: an electronic chip and lab-grown brain tissue. This organic brain device is created using stem cell cultivation technology and possesses some intelligent functions akin to a biological brain.
By integrating an electronic chip, scientists can control the device to send signals outward, thus enabling specific functions.
Ming Dong, Vice President of Tianjin University, explained that, unlike traditional technologies that primarily use the human brain or other biological brains as experimental subjects, the brain-on-chip has emerged as an important new branch in the field of brain-computer interfaces.
He highlighted that the research is expected to have a revolutionary impact on the development of advanced scientific fields such as hybrid intelligence and brain-like computing.
