A team of researchers with Singapore's Agency for Science, Technology and Research has developed a new way to allow robots to navigate on their own. It is based on mimicking two types of neural cells in the brain, and as MIT Technology Review reports, initial tests indicate the approach might lead to robots that are able to adapt as an environment changes, allowing for a more robust navigation system.
