To the gadgets that could fly as well as an insect, the world still have a lot to do. Meantime, some use what mother nature has created millions of years ago. An American company for example, Draper, bridled a dragonfly and turned it into a remote control toy. The insect consists of a living, slightly modified dragonfly that carries a small backpack of electronics. The backpack interfaces directly with the dragonfly’s nervous system to control it, and uses tiny solar panels to harvest enough energy to power itself without the need for batteries. But for neurons to be sensitive enough, they needed to change the animal with genetic engineering! Which means that the crature, which took flight for the first time by the end of May, is the very first genetic changed cyborg insect. Seriously! The next step is mounting cameras of course, the next maybe a set of toys for "kids" to control.. frogs in this case. Yeah, for science!
