Moth Controls Robot Body In Lab Experiment

November 06th, 2007 | Category: Robot

Scientists at the University of Arizona have built a robot CONTROLLED BY A MOTH. Electrodes in the moth’s puny brain capture impulses from its eyes, which are translated

into commands for the robot. The robot rolls in whichever direction the moth looks. The research may one day help paralyzed society control wheelchairs with thought alone.
