A device developed by NASA will allow computers to work as the human brain. When making images through a camera, machines need to decide the steps to follow later, with this new system they can make these decisions faster.

Thus, for example, the machines sent for the investigation of the Martian surface will be able to overcome barriers, select places of interest for analysis and navigate without control from the Earth. To do this, two technologies will be used: the chips that mimic the brain and the three-dimensional link that will give cubic structure to these chips. For the development of the system, researchers have been based on synapses between neurons.
