A new field of quantum robotics is expected to emerge that will address the technological limitations of classical robotics, the researchers wrote in a new study exploring recent advances in next-generation computing and mechanical design. The prospect of combining the two paradigms portends astounding computing power and human-level intelligence for resulting technologies,” the researchers wrote in a new study, titled ‘Quantum robotics: a review of emerging trends’. This could potentially lead to the realisation of advanced robots that are controlled using quantum computing resources.” The concept of quantum computing has been around for decades, but only in recent years has the prospect of a functional machine been considered a serious possibility. Most major tech firms, as well as governments around the world, are already making significant investments into both quantum computing and artificial intelligence, though no large-scale effort is being made to converge the two.
