New York State University’s Buffalo campus is said to be accumulating data such as brainwaves and eye movements for gamers for DARPA, the U.S. Advanced Research Projects Agency, so that in the future, we can nurture AI that thinks like humans and controls military robots autonomously.
DARPA has paid the university a $316,000 grant and has already developed a real-time strategy game for research. The first stage of the game takes 5-10 minutes, and it is said that if 25 gamers play 6-7 times, AI will be able to accumulate enough data for training.
These data will be used to nurture an AI that runs 250 autonomous military robots simultaneously. It becomes possible for machines to make human-like movements and attack enemies. Robots are deployed in the air and on the ground and can be active in situations where visibility cannot be secured. We are also demonstrating how the robot moves in a simulated environment.
