According to cnnb.com.cn, scientists in Shandong have successfully implanted a microchip and radio receiver in a pigeon’s brain, enabling them to instruct the pigeon by remote control to take off, fly in circles and obey other commands.
The experimental droid pigeon was made by the Robot Research Center at Shandong Technology University.
