Scientists turning dragonflies into genetically-engineered drones
Draper and the Howard Hughes Medical Institute have begun work on creating cybernetic insects using genetic engineering.
Titled DragonflEye, the project involves using optogenetics and miniature electronics to turn small insects including dragonflies and bees into remote-controlled drones.
