Moth Cyborg

Scientists are pulling yet another fictional robotic character into real life… it’s a cyborg.

Well, not really. The Robo-Moth is actually a moth’s brain attached to a robotic vehicle. It’s something that robotic engineers have been striving at for ages; although insect brains are miniature compared to ours, their senses are much more finely tuned. The Robo-Moth is tested by stimulating its still-functional antennae, with stimulate neurons in the brain and trigger parts of the vehicle to respond to it.
