Scientists manage to robotize beetles
A group of scientists from the Nanyang Technological Institute (Singapore) has converted adult male beetles. Torquata, natives of Africa, in controllable flying bio-robots, according to the study recently published in Soft Robotics magazine.
Scientists have managed to control the flight paths of insects by implanting electrodes in four of their flight muscles. "Instead of mimicking the complicated kinetics and mechanisms of insect locomotion, a living insect can be transformed directly into a soft robot" by giving them artificial devices, says the research.
They say they would serve to save lives in search and rescue missions, as Soft Robotics points out, noting that insects are easier to control than unmanned drones and much less expensive, and then point out that unlike drones, they can work without battery, what a good joke we know what is the perfect technology for this espionage as all advance always jeopardizes its negative use that will see Black Mirror bees robots another step to 1984 with this we say goodbye.
