芯片也带嗅觉? 神经元AI芯片可闻到爆炸物气味!

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

近日，尼日利亚神经学家奥希罗诺亚·艾加比基于小鼠的神经元制造出一种能够识别爆炸物气味的计算机芯片。

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.

这种名为Koniku Kore的设备可以被植入到未来机器人的大脑中，这些机器人通过训练可凭借气味辨别危险物品，取代传统的机场安检。

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

每块芯片都是活体神经和硅的混合物。芯片中有感应器，可以探测和识别气味。

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

虽然计算机在复杂的数学方程式方面比人类更强，但人类大脑在一些认知功能方面，比如嗅觉，表现得更好。

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

该芯片的研究人员表示，未来某一天，它可能会被安放在机场，以此来嗅出爆炸物。

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

该芯片是由艾加比在硅谷的初创企业Koniku研发的，并在坦桑尼亚举行的TEDGlobal研讨会上正式发布。
