Genetically engineered bionically enhanced insects in lieu of robots For context, I was reading about various research groups installing implants and cameras onto insects to use them as reconnaissance drones in high risk areas. I'm wondering how feasible it would be, to upscale this idea, to genetically engineer insects to appropriate sizes and enhance them with the... (more) |
