In the US, learned to manage live insects using a computer – BFM.Ru

Engineers scrutinize living things to create robots, repeating structure of the natural prototype

In the US, scientists have mastered the management of live cockroaches using robotics. Professor, University of Texas Hong Liang told RT, as they were able to achieve such impressive results.

«It took us a long time to figure out how to best work with cockroaches, how to make them obey. They bore the long such “backpacks”. Now, when in the course of the experiment, we send them signals that they really performed by our team, with over a considerable length of time. This is an important achievement, “- says Professor University of Texas A & amp; M Hong Liang.

According to her, engineers are developing larger systems – large robots. “We are also interested in being smaller. Pursuing the creation of miniature robots, you realize that nature copes much better than you. Therefore, we try to cooperate with her and at first carefully study the living insects, “- says Professor.

The engineers are studying living things to create robots, repeating structure of the natural prototype. For example, the German company Festo has created a robot birds, insects and even robot kangaroo notes RT.
