Slamtec to build a cerebellum for smart robots

The brain is such complex organ that we are not even close to fully understanding how it works and regulates the rest of the body. Current AI development is focused on perhaps the easiest of brain functions: learning, communication, memory, and sensing.

However, the study of the role of the cerebellum, the part of your brain that controls and regulates voluntary movement, has yet to attract its due attention from the market, according to Lin Ling, chief strategy officer of Slamtec.

“SLAM (simultaneous localization and mapping) is a sub-branch of AI. While AI is playing the role for cerebrum and radar for human vision, SLAM is fulfilling the task of the cerebellum, enabling robots to move fluidly, stay balanced, and be proprioceptive,” he said.
