Artificial intelligence (AI) i.e. artificial intelligence cannot match human intelligence, that’s why scientists have now given human brain to AI.
Researchers at Tianjin University in China have developed a humanoid robot that works using human brain cells.
At first the concept may seem like something out of a sci-fi movie, but according to researchers, this humanoid hybrid robot with human brain cells might pave the way for intelligence.
According to New Atlas, the new robot, described as a “brain on a chip,” uses stem cells that are originally grown into human brain cells.
Human brain keeps redundant memories in ‘trash folder’: study
Unlike normal robots, which rely on pre-programmed instructions, this new human brain robot uses its brain implant to learn and adapt to its environment.
Although it lacks traditional visual abilities, it responds to electrical signals and sensory input, guiding movements.
Human brain cells help the robot manage arm movements to avoid obstacles, track targets and grasp objects, operating entirely through electrical signals and sensory input.
In a similar project known as “Dish Brain” at Monash University, Australia, researchers observed that human neurons can learn tasks faster than AI. ‘
Researchers grew regarding 800,000 brain cells on a chip, put it in a simulated environment, and watched the cyborg learn to play pong in regarding five minutes. The project was quickly funded by the Australian Army and incorporated into a company called Cortical Labs.

In a statement to New Atlas, Brett Keegan, chief scientific officer at Cortical Labs, revealed that although the creation of humanoid robots with human brain cells is in its infancy, biocomputers grown from human neurons, artificial intelligence. They have been shown to learn faster and consume much less power than machines.
Researchers believe that advances in humanoids with human brain cells might lead to significant advances in medical science, particularly in the treatment of neurological conditions.
One of its promising applications is the repair of damage to the human brain. By replacing lost neurons and rebuilding neural circuits, doctors may be able to transplant brain organoids to restore brain function in patients with nerve damage.
However, despite the promising approach, this technology raises important ethical questions.
As the integration of human brain cells into robots becomes more advanced, the line between biological intelligence and artificial intelligence continues to blur.
