ArticleBody:Scientists merged human brain-like tissue with a computer chip in order to help teach small robotic systems how to navigate obstacles, as well as how to track and grasp items. The steps to make your own “brain-on-chip” are even available open-source online—if you know how to cultivate three-dimensional stem cell organoids and are versed in attaching them to electrode chips.

The chip is reportedly capable of directing robotic systems to navigate environments and grip objects after simulation training sessions. To accomplish this feat, researchers integrated machine learning algorithms into its organoid-enhanced neural computing network, marking a notable achievement in furthering explorations into “hybrid intelligence.
