The photon-brains for the robots of tomorrow might be the key element in robotics.
Robots of tomorrow ask advice, and the photon-based quantum computers allow that robots are learning as humans do. Chinese researchers have created the world's first photon-based quantum computer. The requirement of the cooling system is decreasing, so that means that photon-based quantum computer can be the system, which can operate at room temperature. And it might be the key element in mobile robot systems like automatized ships, submarines, or even man-shaped robots, which can operate independently.
Those systems require only the orders, and then they find the answer to the problems by searching the internet. That means the robots can find information from the internet as humans do. And in that process robot can send the query do some other robots have the movement series in their memory, which it uses for similar missions like chancing the car engine. The system asks advice from other systems, what are sharing data of the needed tools and movements like humans do, if those robots are in the same network segment.
A light-based quantum computer has one problem, how to make it compact? The big size is one of the biggest problems in quantum computers. But the nanotechnology allows the creation of nano-size mirrors and prisms what will make it possible to make the microprocessors, which internal architecture bases the photon technology. The classic photon-based processors are regular processors whose internal architecture is working as electricity, and the data travels in laser-rays between those processors.
But if the internal architecture of the microprocessor can turn to operate by photons that can make the revolution in computing. The problem is that the mirrors and prisms are controlling the direction of the photons must be quite small, if we want to make the compact photon computer.
In regular microprocessors, the switches and routers are controlling the router electrons, but in photon-based microprocessors, the mirrors and prisms are controlling the direction of the light. The laser-rays will impact the miniaturized photovoltaic cells, what is transferring the laser ray to electricity, what is carrying the data to the microchips, what are controlling screens and mass memories.
But that electricity can also use for controlling the mirror- and prism system and turn those things in the right direction. The mirrors are changing the direction of the laser rays turning their position. And the laser light can send to the microprocessor by using low-energetic systems like laser LEDs. In the non-targeting systems, the laser LED might be in a chamber, where the light is conducted to the optic fibers.
Or some kind of mirror-system will collect the laser light for the microprocessor. The electricity that the laser-system delivers can store in capacitors, which decreases the heating of that system and makes it more energy economical. The compact-size light-based quantum computers are one of the most revolutionary things.
If the internally installed quantum computer will control robots, that thing allows making the extremely complicated artificial intelligence programs, which allows those systems to operate independently. The photon computer is not very easy to disturb by using electromagnetic radiation. That means the photon computers are excellent tools for many purposes like independent operating drones. The powerful stand-alone system can be a powerful tool for robotics, and the thing is that in the future the robots can use photon-brains for independent operations.
