  1. RatBrainRobot Thecyborgofour time Hugo Ribeiro Baldioti

  2. Cyborgs • Cyberneticorganism • Biologicaland artificial parts

  3. Human living cyborgs • Neil Harbisson • Rob Spence • Kevin Warwick

  4. Kevin Warwick • Professor of Cybernetics at the University of Reading, England • Artificial intelligence, control, robotics and biomedical engineering

  5. Kevin Warwick • Project Cyborg 1.0 (1998) • Project Cyborg 2.0 (2002)

  6. Ratbrainrobot • Controlledbyneuronsfrom a rat’sbrain • A robotconsistingoftwowheelswith a sonar sensor • Has no microprocessorofit’sown

  7. How it works? • Embryonicneurons are separated out andallowed to growon na electrodearray • A meshofabout 100000 neuronscangrowwithinseveraldays • Afterabout a weekhe starts to pulse theelectrodes in search of a pathway

  8. How it works? • Oncetheyhave a pathwayresearchers use the connection to gettherobot to roam aroundandlearn to avoidcrashingintowalls • Bluetooth communication • With time andrepetitionthe neural pathwaybecomestronger • Therobotlearn for itselfhow to notbashintoobstacles

  9. Show Video • http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=1QPiF4-iu6g&gl=BR

  10. Future... • Cultureneurons in threedimensions • A network of 30 millionneurons • Afterthat, thenextstepwillbe to bring in humanneurons

  11. Nowwhat? • Ifwehave 100 billionhumanneurons Shouldwegive it rights? Does it get to vote? Is it conscious?
