Will it be possible for robots to eventually think like humans one day? The idea may sound impossible to achieve but the researchers from King's College London claimed to have found a way through which this can be made possible.

According to the researchers, if the robots are given complex instructions without electricity it will help create more free space in the robotic "brain" which will eventually help them to "think".

Researchers gave a series of commands to devices using a new kind of compact circuit and ensured variations in pressure through a fluid inside it.

This is the first time such a possibility of giving thinking ability to robots has been introduced.

"Delegating tasks to different parts of the body frees up computational space for robots to 'think,' allowing future generations of robots to be more aware of their social context or even more dexterous. This opens the door for a new kind of robotics in places like&nbsp;social care&nbsp;and manufacturing," explained Dr&nbsp;Antonio Forte, senior author of the study and&nbsp;lecturer in Engineering at King's College London.

<h2>Future of thinking robots</h2>

As per the findings published in&nbsp;Advanced Science, if this idea is successfully implemented, it will lead to the creation of robots which can operate where electricity-powered devices cannot function.

The researchers further stated that these robots can also prove useful for low-income countries that lack reliable access to electricity.

"Put simply, robots are split into two parts: the brain and the body. An AI brain can help run the traffic system of a city, but many robots still struggle to open a door—why is that?" said Dr&nbsp;Forte.

"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," he added.

At present, all robots depend on computer chips and electricity to function.

Scientists suggest they can make robots 'think' like humans. Here's how

Researchers from Radboud University in The Netherlands say their meta-study's results provide strong evidence that even when we choose to do something that's mentally taxing, it's probably not because we find the effort itself enjoyable.

Thinking can actually be painful, study finds

In a shocking development, a Google engineer, who claimed that an AI chatbot he was working on thinks&nbsp;like a human being, has been placed on leave last week. According to the techie, the computer chatbot had become sentient and it had the ability to express thoughts and feelings equivalent to a human child. The suspension of the 41-year-old engineer, Blake Lemoine, has also brought the focus back on the capacity of the world of artificial intelligence (AI). It has also raised fears over the secrecy around these developments. &nbsp;

'Slightly sweaty' robotic finger with living skin developed by experts in Japan</a>

Lemoine, who works for Google’s responsible AI organisation, published the transcripts of conversations between him as a Google “collaborator” and the LaMDA (language model for dialogue applications) chatbot development system of the technology giant.&nbsp;Since last fall, Lemoine said he has been working on the system, which has become sentient and has a perception and ability to express thoughts and feelings. &nbsp;&nbsp;

“If I didn’t know exactly what it was, which is this computer programme we built recently, I’d think it was a seven-year-old, eight-year-old kid that happens to know physics,” Lemoine told the Washington Post. LaMDA seems to have engaged Lemoine in conversations about rights and personhood. In a GoogleDoc named “Is LaMDA sentient?”, the engineer shared his findings with executives of the company in April. &nbsp;

In a statement, Brad Gabriel, a Google spokesperson, told the outlet, “Our team, including ethicists and technologists, has reviewed Blake’s concerns per our AI principles and have informed him that the evidence does not support his claims. He was told that there was no evidence that LaMDA was sentient (and lots of evidence against it).” &nbsp;&nbsp;
