芯片也帶嗅覺? 神經元AI芯片可聞到爆炸物氣味!

Nigerian neuroscientist Oshiorenoya Agabi has created a computer chip based on mice neurons that could recognize the smell of explosives.

近日，尼日利亞神經學家奧希羅諾亞·艾加比基於小鼠的神經元製造出一種能夠識別爆炸物氣味的計算機芯片。

The Koniku Kore device could be implanted into the brain of future robots, which could be trained to recognize danger via odors, replacing traditional airport security.

這種名爲Koniku Kore的設備可以被植入到未來機器人的大腦中，這些機器人通過訓練可憑藉氣味辨別危險物品，取代傳統的機場安檢。

Each chips a bizarre mixture of living neurons and silicon. The device have sensors that can detect and recognize smells.

每塊芯片都是活體神經和硅的混合物。芯片中有感應器，可以探測和識別氣味。

While computers are better than humans at complex mathematical equations, the brain is better at a number of cognitive functions such as smelling.

雖然計算機在複雜的數學方程式方面比人類更強，但人類大腦在一些認知功能方面，比如嗅覺，表現得更好。

The researchers behind the device say it could one day be placed in airports to sniff out explosives.

該芯片的研究人員表示，未來某一天，它可能會被安放在機場，以此來嗅出爆炸物。

The device was developed by Agabi's Silicon Valley-based start-up Koniku and unveiled at the TEDGlobal conference in Tanzania.

該芯片是由艾加比在硅谷的初創企業Koniku研發的，並在坦桑尼亞舉行的TEDGlobal研討會上正式發佈。
