Engineers have worked out how to give robots complex instructions without electricity for the first time which could free up more space in the robotic 'brain' for them to 'think'.
They say this world first opens up the possibility of a new generation of robots, whose bodies could operate independently of their built-in control centre, with this space potentially being used instead for more complex AI powered software.
The findings, published in Advanced Science could also enable the creation of robots able to operate in situations where electricity-powered devices cannot work, such as exploration in irradiated areas like Chernobyl which destroy circuits, and in electric sensitive environments like MRI rooms.
The researchers also hope that these robots could eventually be used in low-income countries which do not have reliable access to electricity.
"Software has advanced rapidly in recent years, but hardware has not kept up. By creating a hardware system independent from the software running it, we can offload a lot of the computational load onto the hardware, in the same way your brain doesn't need to tell your heart to beat."
