"Robots are increasingly becoming a part of our lives – from warehouse
automation to robotic vacuum cleaners. And just like humans, robots need to
know where they are to reliably navigate from A to B.
How far, and for how long, a robot can navigate depends on how much power it
consumes over time. Robot navigation systems are especially energy hungry.
But what if power consumption was no longer a concern?
Our research on “brain-inspired” computing, published today in
Science
Robotics, could make navigational robots of the future more energy efficient
than previously imagined.
This could potentially extend and expand what’s possible for battery-powered
systems working in challenging environments such as disaster zones, underwater,
and even in space."
