Spy Flies
Robotic-looking dragonflies and other insects have been spotted at political events and protests in Washington and New York, hovering over antiwar rallies. While no government agency admitted to deploying the robots, the technology has been in the works for decades and some entities have admitted that they’re currently trying to perfect it. Because replicating the flying motions of a live insect tends to be inefficient, researchers may soon turn to flying cyborg insects like the beetles and roaches instead.
間諜蒼蠅
昆蟲態機器人曾經在華盛頓和紐約的政治事件比如游行抗議反戰聚會中被發現過,雖然政府不承認,但這項技術已經存在了幾十年,一些機構表示他們正在完善它。不過模擬飛行的昆蟲在現實應用中是比較低效的,研究人員可能利用機械爬蟲(比如瓢蟲、蟑螂)來代替。
