FEATURED RESEARCH

Like Humans and Animals, AI Agents Find Their Way Through Memory

Memory may be just as important to artificial intelligence (AI) agents in creating ‘mental maps’ as it is to humans and animals.

A recent paper authored by Georgia Tech researchers makes a surprising discovery — blind AI agents use memory to create maps and navigate through their surrounding environment.

Erik Wijmans, the lead author of the paper, said the idea for his research began by asking if AI agents might mimic human and animal behavior in how they navigate and adjust to their environments.
