In the past, entrepreneur Elon Musk has described a “neural lace” that could add a symbiotic digital layer to the human brain. In the future, it seems, he’ll try to build that device through a new company, Neuralink.
In this fifth edition, we are excited to feature robot progress in human-robot interaction, agile movement, enhanced training methods, soft robotics, brain surgery, medical navigation, and ecological research.
Researchers who created a soft robot that could navigate simple mazes without human or computer direction have now built on that work, creating a “brainless” soft robot that can navigate more complex and dynamic environments.
