To overcome these challenges, researchers in Japan have developed a new type of drone that uses silkworm moth antennae to detect smells, just like insects do in nature. Animals, especially insects ...

Japanese researchers recently unveiled a bio-hybrid drone with live silkworm moth antennae, enabling it to navigate and detect odors with unprecedented precision. “In this research, we strive to ...

Researchers have now developed a novel bio-hybrid drone by combining robotic elements with odor-sensing antennae from silkworm moths. Their innovation, which integrates the agility and precision ...
