Robotic Brain Development: Automation and navigation

Abstract

Robotic Brain Development is a term that relates the ‘Development’ to both the ‘Robotics’ and the ‘Brain’. It includes the areas that try to find answers to a number of things related to brain including how brain decides, controls actions, remembers and likes or dislikes things. There are two different views — Robotics for Brain Development and Brain Development for Robotics. In the first view fall mostly the studies that are related to the field of Medicine, Rehabilitation and Surgery. In the second view, are included the studies that are being done to form the brain of Robotic Systems. There are two different approaches, one to make fully automatic robotic systems and the other to make semi-automatic robotic systems where the brain control is provided to the robot externally. These studies are categorized into three types: (1.) where Robot is controlled by the Real Brain, (2.) where Artificial Brain is developed for the Robot and (3.) where Animal Brain is integrated with the Robotic System. This paper presents a review of different studies related to Robotic Brain Development.
