The team of researchers working on the The Green Brain Project has advanced to the point of being able to use what they've created in mimicking a honeybee brain, to actually pilot a flying robot drone—at least partially. The aim of the project is to completely reproduce a bee's brain in digital form, allowing at some point, a flying robot to function as the real thing with onlookers none the wiser.
A $230 pocket-sized drone that can only fly for three minutes.
In the span of 13 months, eight drones have crashed.
Attacks like this one are likely to become more of a problem in the future.
