Living Drones - From war pigeons in 1914 to cyborg moths in 2014 (#6275) (31x103)

: 29, 2014

Speaker: Anja Drephal During World War I, homing pigeons were used to carry messages and take photographs over enemy territory. Today, experiments are being conducted to remote-control insects for similar purposes. This talk intends to give an overview of 100 years of living drones, speculate on future developments in the field, and question the ethical implications of the practice.
