AI Summary

Scientists at Cortical Labs in Australia have equipped a robotic dog with living neurons cultured in the lab, creating a biologically based control system. The neuron‑driven chip guides the robot toward a target displayed on a simple map, demonstrating how living brain cells can direct machine movement. Researchers highlight that such bio‑computing could offer greater energy efficiency and adaptability than conventional silicon chips, noting the human brain’s low power consumption and superior handling of unfamiliar situations.
