MOSCOW : A Russian company recently claimed to have transformed pigeons into surveillance drones, which can be called biological drones or bio-drones in English. Russian neurotechnology company Neiry Group claims to have implanted brain implants in pigeons that can remotely control their flight paths. These pigeons have also been equipped with small cameras, GPS, and solar-powered controls, allowing them to provide live video like traditional drones. Without the need for pilots or training, electrical signals can be sent to their brains to tell them to turn right or left or take a specific route. The company says these bio-drones can fly longer than normal drones and can also operate in restricted airspace.
