Brooders

What’s the new weaponry or assassin? A moth apparently: Can cyborg moths bring down terrorists?

Inside it will be a computer chip that was implanted when the creature was still a pupa, in the cocoon, meaning that the moth’s entire nervous system can be controlled remotely.

The moth will thus be capable of landing in the camp without arousing suspicion, all the while beaming video and other information back to its masters via what its developers refer to as a “reliable tissue-machine interface.”

Military technology is always interesting, we’ve noticed before their affinity with getting animals to perform tasks though:

• Military Building Attack Insects
• Stealth sharks to patrol the high seas
• Robocarp, Dolphins and Swimware (Dolphins doing military things)

How do you get a job doing this kind of research?
