Remote Controlled Killer Beetle

Posted by admin under Uncategorized

This is a little interesting.

“A team of electrical engineers led by Hirotaka Sato of the University of California, Berkeley, report the development of an implantable radio-controlled neural stimulating device, with which they demonstrate, for the very first time, the accurate control of flight in freely flying insects”

Right now, they can only control the direction of the beetle and whether it is in flight. But, in my opinion (and keeping with grandiose predictions of flippantly optimistic reporting on technological breakthroughs), it’s only a matter of time before I can buy a tin of remote controllable killer bees.
