We explore efforts to develop robots with artificial intelligence that mimics our own. We explore IBM’s secret research facility in California and meet the man behind their ‘brain-inspired’ microchip that could make all our computers work and think like we do. We travel to Sheffield in the UK to meet Tony Prescott, a man who is striving to develop a robot with a sense of self, essentially, a robot that can think for itself. We then round-up all the latest science news that you need to know.
