Abstract
By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Robotics & Machine Learning DailyNews Daily News – CHAMPAIGN, Ill. - By giving artificial intelligence simple associative learning rulesbased on the brain circuits that allow a sea slug to forage - and augmenting it with better episodic memory,lik e that of an octopus - scientists have built an AI that can navigate new environ ments, seek rewards,map landmarks and overcome obstacles.Reported in the journal Neurocomputing, the new approach gives AI the ability to explore and gatherthe information it needs to expand its spatial and temporal awareness, growing its knowledge base whilelearning on the job, said Ekaterina Gribkova, a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champai gn who led the study with U. of I. molecular and integrative physiology professo r emeritus RhanorGillette, with support from agricultural and biological engine ering professor Girish Chowdhary.
