#Robots navigating the unknown A robot with a navigation system that mirrors the neural scheme used by humans
and animals to find their way around has been developed by A*STAR researchers. This robot uses neural schemes similar to humans to navigate an office environment.
The human navigation function is operated by two types of brain cells-place cells and grid cells.
The way sailors used to navigate through tracking of relative movement however, is essential for finding a way through unfamiliar areas,
explains Miaolong Yuan from the A*STAR Institute for Infocomm Research team. A sailor will use cues such as the stars
