Unveiling The Robot That Dreams: Dreams, no longer meant for only humans (hail robotics!!!)

<html>
<p>I have always believed that dreams are absolute prerogatives of humans and humans alone. I wouldn’t even believe if I was told that animals can dream. But science has just made a mess of my belief. Should I say “thank you” or “what the heck?”</p>
<p>The feats in Artificial Intelligence have not failed to amaze me. Before now, we were just talking about the advances in humanoid robots; now we’ve moved a step further. This is the era where robots can be thought to dream.</p>

<p><strong>What occurs during your sleep?</strong></p>
<p>There are more things to sleeping than just lying down. I won’t be delving much into the aspect of sleep, but I’ll show us one this that happens: this is <strong>Dreaming.</strong> This is a very vital aspect of sleeping, where the brain collates fragments of recently acquired memories with the older ones, so as to maintain a solidified long term memory.</p>
<p><br></p>
<p><strong>Dreams; not exclusively preserved for humans</strong></p>
<p>A team of scientists from DeepMind, Blizard, and Google went on a research which was led partly by professor <strong>Irina Higgin</strong> (Neuroscientist) to find a way to create an algorithm that will make robots to dream. Now, this may sound weird; but let’s look at it like this: Dreams, among other things in humans, help our mind to relax, increase learning process, and make us better at decisions.</p>

<p><a href="http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/284378.php">Image Source</a></p>
<p>In the same way; since we have “<strong>learning robots</strong>”, what stops it from being made to dream? That is the idea behind the research, and they came up with “<em><strong>DeepMind AI</strong></em>”. This will simulate the process of dreaming in the robot. No doubt, this is an advancement in the neural network of robots.</p>
<blockquote><strong>Will be dream be monitored?</strong></blockquote>
<p>The dream will be processed and used to monitor the learning process of the robot. But the dream is not to be pre-programmed into the robot. It is purely from the robot’s neural network.</p>
<p>Science is really getting scarier by the day, but there’s a question I humorously asked myself about this subject of robot dreaming:</p>
<blockquote><strong>“What if these </strong><em><strong>dreaming robots</strong></em><strong> start watching movies rated 18+, will they have wet dreams?</strong>”</blockquote>
<p>Well, I guess I’ve figured out the answer already; I could be wrong though</p>
<p><br></p>
<p><em><strong>Thanks for reading</strong></em></p>

I am not sure I would use the wording "scary" here. "Amazing" may be better :)

This is pretty impressive, to allow a computer to dream and think. I've always found AI to be a very interesting, yet complex topic. 
The future will be filled with AI, that's certain, so I'm excited to see where these powerful tech companies take the tech.
