This is the structure of the future robots envisioned by the team. They are digitally modeled according to the cognitive principles of the brain and call it the “memory model”. The team’s researchers believe that the most important reason for human intelligence is the change in the number of memory. So they tried to apply this model to the robot, which is to install a “machine brain” that can be used for memory. As a result, engineers no longer need to build complex world models for robots, but the robots themselves build them. They call them NEural COgnitive Robots.

At the same time, the team believes that only the “machine brain” of memory function is not enough. It also requires a lot of sensors to work together so that the “machine brain” can get enough external information, then process it through the neural network, and finally output it to the execution module. This is a cyclical process consisting of judgment, feedback, decision-making, and execution. It is also the process that researchers believe can produce intelligence.
