Title: Neural-type robotics-an overview

Book ·
OSTI ID:5081197

Neural-type robotics is the field of robotics where intelligence and control functions are carried out by neural-type signal processors, the latter being electronic microsystems that emulate biological neural systems. Areas of application include intelligent industrial and medical robots for varying environments and prosthetic robotic devices, such as artificial organs, for the handicapped. This paper gives an overview of the field including the structure of generic neural-type systems, a review of the rather limited past accomplishments, a survey of the present undertakings, many of which are just under initiation, and a look at the very promising future with its vast implications. 14 references.
