Intel's Loihi 2 speeds effort to make neuromorphic chips like human brains

On top of that, the chip also helps Intel advance its own manufacturing technology. The chip also can be programmed better to help researchers tackle more computing tasks. Some experiments have focused on artificial skin that could give robots a better sense of touch. “We can detect slippage if a robot hand is picking up a cup,” Davies said. It differs from conventional chips in profound ways. You won’t see Loihi 2 in your phone or laptop....
