A Russian company has recently claimed to transform pigeons into surveillance drones, a technology it refers to as “bio-drones.”
According to reports, Russian neurotechnology firm Neiry Group asserts that it has implanted pigeons with neural devices that allow their flight paths to be remotely controlled.
These pigeons are also equipped with small cameras, GPS, and solar-powered control systems, enabling them to transmit live video similar to conventional drones.
Without the need for pilots or training, electric signals can guide the birds’ brains to turn left, right, or follow a designated path.
The company claims that these bio-drones can fly longer distances than traditional drones and are capable of operating in areas with limited airflow.
