Drones are becoming increasingly popular, and they are starting to get smaller. Now scientists are starting to look at insects about drones, and have been studying how they fly. Now that experiment has gone further as scientists are using insects themselves as the drones and drones cannot get much smaller. Scientists have altered a living dragonfly so they can control its movements.
Modified Cyborg Dragonfly Is Controlled By Scientists A new experiment to turn insects into drones is being undertaken by the Charles Stark Draper Laboratory along with the Howard Hughes Medical Institute. The pair is working on DragonflEye. This is a genetically modified cyborg dragonfly, and researchers can control it by remote control. DragonflEye was created by scientists modifying ordinary dragonflies’ spinal cords and giving them steering neurons, which are sensitive to light. The small fiber-optic structures are in the eyes of the dragonflies, and these send out pulses to the brain of the creature. This means that the scientists can control where the insect flies thanks to a remote control.
