In a nutshell: Researchers in Japan have merged robotic technology with the finely tuned senses of silk moths to create a bio-hybrid drone. Traditional drones rely on visual sensors like cameras and lasers for navigation, but these can be unreliable in harsh conditions such as low light, dust storms, or wet environments. The advanced bio-hybrid drone developed in this study has the potential to enable responders to rapidly locate survivors by tracking odors, ultimately saving more lives when every second counts," Dr. Terutsuki concluded.
