A new study by an international team of scientists has outlined the potential for a new class of robots that can match the capabilities of humans. These advances are driven by the convergence of quantum computing and artificial intelligence, giving rise to the field of quantum robotics.
This field promises to overcome the limitations inherent in classical robotics and revolutionize various sectors.
“Quantum computation and artificial intelligence are separately considered transformative technologies that are shaping our present and future,” said the researchers in the study.
“The prospect of combining the two paradigms portends astounding computing power and human-level intelligence for resulting technologies.”
Quantum robotics focuses on putting the ideas of quantum mechanics, like superposition and entanglement, into robotic systems. This could allow robots to process huge amounts of data from their sensors in real-time. This ability would let robots react quickly to complex environments and possibly show thinking and feeling abilities similar to human intelligence.
“It is widely anticipated that quantum algorithms, quantum sensors, and quantum controls will be at the fulcrum of next-generation robotics,” added the researchers.
