Mothra? No, It's Just A Robot Exoskeleton Controlled By A Moth
No, It's Just A Robot Exoskeleton Controlled By A Moth What could go wrong? "Researchers at the University of Tokyo have strapped a moth into a robotic exoskeleton, with the moth successfully controlling the robot to reach a specific location inside a wind tunnel," writes ExtremeTech. "Fortunately, the Japanese researchers aren't actually trying to construct a moth master race," ExtremeTech says. 'Most chemical sensors, such as semiconductor sensors, have a slow recovery time and are not able to detect the temporal dynamics of odors as insects do,' says Noriyasu Ando, the lead author of the research.
