- In the future, we may have remote-controlled insects to reach places humans cannot. At least that's what Dr. Hirotaka Sato, an aerospace engineer from Singapore, is hoping.
Motherboard went to Dr. Sato's lab in Singapore to take one of his cyborg beetles for a test flight.

Imagine aliens controlling us and smashing us into wall then scream "Yes it worked"
2 times... SMH
Nah I'm sure they''ll put up paper so we wouldn't crash and destroy their precious technology
You're suggesting that extraterrestrial beings would be as dumb as us rather than smarter. I hope you realize the error of your joke.
actually, I imagined Neuralink the brain implant from Elon Musk.
Except that even in Alienic classifications, we do not classify as insects rather than intelligent beings, so no. However we do something similar to what you suggested to our own people such as in MK ultra mind control, trauma, hypnosis, and AI such as microchips are used for mind control and to alter people's behaviour to the advantage and control of the handler.

what ways?
I loved the idea when I first heard of it. There is so much progress, good or bad, that can be made. I really don't know what to think of it after having watched the video though. I'm not someone who will abstain from eating animals, but I can take solace in the fact that the animals I eat have a quick and seemingly painless death. I try to purchase free range meat when my budget allows as well, but I'm certainly not an extreme animal activist.
That being said, I don't know how to feel about the cybernetic restructuring these beetles are going through. It truly seems like a fate worse than death, one I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy. Having your body be piloted while you're still conscious...
Beetles are comparatively a lot simpler in their neurology, but something about that lack of physical control just irks me the wrong way.
I'm not completely opposed to the idea, but I am ambivalent to it.
indeed , futhermore encouraging such technology will make it invade other creatures such as pets, monkeys.... or even humans one day!
I find the exploitation of animals cruel unless its used to directly save lives so I relate to that.
@@themenagerie5247 it will deviate from its objective if those type of technologies are encouraged, everything deviates, as an example you can see nuclear science, it started as a normal energy study on the atom but ended up making bombs too

Without this high tech, I will obey if you pay me enough money.
Ever Seen that one guy that made people dab by forcing them
Human brain is far more complex than beetle brain. So we probably won't see it on humans on the same level of insects for a while, and even if we do; it will not go mainstream.
Free will is an illusion, humans have no "will", that's why we do things we regret.

I hope rc controlled beatles will be bot immune to chemotox...
Just to ease anyone's minds. Insects have a very very simple nervous system. This means two things
1. The beetle is unable to feel things like pain due to lack of a complex nervous system
2. Technology like this in humans won't be as easy.
Do you know haptic suit? It has potential to control humans
A sharp electric jolt through the victim's body. Might need two before he starts to work and tell me if he doesn't obey you. And better he will listen to voice commands.
Michael Reeves did a video on that. And he got it working on himself, making him dab unconciously. Well, it wouldn't be very accurate if you tried it on humans.
I dont agree that insects dont feel pain, as there is no proof that they cannot. Insects nervous system actually closely resembles ours, they react to many similar stimuli like shock heat and pressure. Some invertebrates also possess endorphins and enkophalins which are released in the body as in ours to relieve pain or stress. If pain was not felt the need for these opioids would be pointless. I will get off my soap box now ..... :).
when u said *as* it didnt feel good 😅
When's dbrand releasing the new beetle skin?
3 years later it transform to a monster and then some hero guy 1 punch it
and then Skynet will connect those beetles to the cloud and give them IQ 10.000.

While fun and fascinating.. let’s finish the experiment before we get carried away with procrastinating and create cyborg bug battles for illegal gambling,
Ok this is really cool, now imagine:
1) Design or use existing surgical robot and AI to automatically farm, raise, and add cheap electronics to the beetles.
2) Create a drone platform/network that can send signals and direct groups of Beetles.
3) Use for everything from pollination, to cleaning, to pest control, to criminal investigation, search and rescue, or even construction!
Imagine 50 years later kids are playing with cyborg beetles like they’re rc cars

When the beetle hit the wall.. I felt like a bus hitted me ._.
those beetles are like facing their mad doctors
Wouldn't pure mechanical drones do a better job? Not sure why a live beetle is needed. The host should have asked that question.
So far, nature is a lot better at making really small yet complex flying machines. So, it makes logical sense to use what nature is better at to our advantage. I'm not saying it's moral or right, but there is logic to it.
we need to learn how to control beatles. So we can learn how to control humans.
I think people would notice a mechanical drone flying around them. A live beetle or other small insect could be seen as normal.
It's 100000 times cheaper than using drones or machines, and it leaves no carbon footprint. That's the reason. And some others mentioned above.
Because this isn`t about drones, but cybernetics. Either that, or it`s much cheaper to grab a beatle and put some chips into it.
People don't understand the importance of this. One day people who were paralyzed will be able to move and walk again with this technology. Think about that.
They can't process that thought.
Those beetles are paralyzed or ?
No, but their nervous system can be controlled. And if their nervous system can be controlled, so can ours. meaning, a person that is, for example paralyzed in their legs, might be able to move them through implants on their nervous system.
I bought a drone by 50 dollars which is better than "this"
Also people can be controlled, like mind control

Kade Snyder,
OMG, I don't know in which context you meant it, but so true...
You can almost feel the pain of the possessed beetle crashing into the wall...
Shane Craig Im not saying its unethical to do this shit but the beetles do that on their own anyway. You ever see one fly? They are awful at it.
insects don't feel pain and they don't have emotions
Insects have very basic emotions. Its much better than using this on like a bird.
@@joeblazer3429 no evidence for this claim, people just say this to justify cruelty toward arthropods, but just because they’re small and simple-looking doesn’t tell us they lack a nervous system
@@theworthysoul They don't lack a nervous system per say, but I'm pretty sure their brains literally aren't complex enough to process pain the way we do. Truly astounding feat of necromancy btw
When it hit the wall and he said hey it worked made me laugh so much
The beetles reaction : "What the fuc im doing ?"
I know what this feels like. I have a leg muscle problem I acquired from a bike accident. Without this tiny device strapped around my leg, I can barely walk. But with this sending shocks to my muscle every time I bend my knee, I can now walk! Amazing. Good stuff!

and everyone feels bad for you so they do everything for you
this is amazing, but slightly fucked up. at least they aren't doing it with a more sentient animal, yet.
They probably can't do that (as of yet). Insect muscles are really simple, that's why this works.
@@arnold7432 You can also manipulate human muscles with this technique. All muscles are quite similar.
When you come to see the monsters being controlled, and discover it's the humans who are the monsters being controlled. God will not forget your Frankenstein treatment to his creations.
its like somebody uses electrodes on you and give you little jolts, to move the muscles.. i see the idea and the potential of this, but the same time i also find it cruel..
I'm not sure that the same humane laws we apply to humans can be applied to animals and insects, can they?
They don't feel pain during it
Elijah Kumin Something tells me this is unethical despite the fact that it is “only” a bug. It needs to live it’s own little bug life.
I’m torn between how inhumaine this is and how amazing it is
There is nothing amazing about it
@@computerlover9290until we actually fix the inhumanity to other humans then we can worry about poor animals
If you still are uncertain, just be aware that if they can do it to an animal, they can probably do it to a human.

🤣 imagine the employee who accidentally steps on or walking to pick it up 😭 😆
we were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, we didn’t stop to think if we should
This is interesting especially for people that have had strokes or have broken their necks and are now paralyzed.
yeah.its great, we could control them with a WWI remote.
john pardon Or you can surgically implant a chip in their brains where they can can control themselves...
Lemuel Nicholls not that much fun.
Some professors at a technical university in Austria are researching a similar technology for paralyzed patients. The thing is that the chip should be implantet right away to limit muscledecay.
It doesn't hurt? "No" would you shock yourself to move? "No"
yeah .... exspecially how they are brazing the wiring onto the beetle 7:56 ...
nonono somethinglike that doesnt hurt
weather it hurts or not, think of a cyborg beetle going incognito into a terrorist hub and blowing their whole operation by targeting the missile. thats badass!!
like "howd they get osama?" "cyborg beetle!!" WTF!!
You too with the instinct of manipulating things around you! We got robots to do that and they are better it's only a matter of time for us to shrink the technology
yea but they would trust a beetle and not a robot. little do they know the beetle is part robot!! muhahahahaa!!!
Imagine the nightmare it would be to have your movements controlled at someone else’s will like this... Hopefully this is never experimented on more conscious creatures.
One thing I saw that no one is mentioning is that isn't the beetle going through a lot of pain considering for how long they are moving its limbs? I mean if you move a certain amount then you start to get tired and stop but to move these beetles for that long, I am sure they're going through excruciating pain? I hope someone can confirm as this is incredibly sad if true.
This is as cruel as you can get.
Still not as cruel as fuCKING IMPALING SOMEONE
The weaponization of this tech seems crazy to think about. Imagine a cloud of these swarming over a city with the ability to cut electronics / self detonate.
way to take this in a completely different direction ass wipe.
Uhm... You are welcome?
That would be...
A) Expensive
B) Worthless
C)Hard to do
Not to mention that it was already tested in WW2 with the "Bat Bomb" which albeit a success, was canceled due to the Manhattan project. The idea of exploding fauna is outdated.
A) Expensive compared to what? The beetle is already built and all you need to do is attach electrodes to an already built system. If you were to scale this on an industrial scale farm I couldnt imagine it costing more than a few pennys per unit / beetle
B) Modern warfare is street by street fighting. The ability to infiltrate the smallest of areas that would be hard to target would be pretty amazing. Not only that but depending on the area / climate these would be impossible to see. Imagine the kind of real life surveillance bugs could have of a camp in a jungle for example. This is way - way better than drone surveillance by a long shot.
C) Hard to do? Maybe... but they will only get better and the bugs will only get smaller as the technology improves. I can imagine clouds of bugs attacking a target that would be basically impossible to fire at once an attack start. You just need to use your imagination
The LOLbertarian you're idiotic imagination blinds you. The cost of producing a tiny bomb plus electrodes to attach and carry into battle to do.... what? They can't carry a bomb of any value. They are beetles.
imagine telling it's struggling while smiling
imagine being stranded and they sent this to communicate and locate you but you thought it was a normal pesky bug and killed it
people be like...aww poor creature while eating fried chicken.
Sagar Chandgadkar XD exactly, hypocrites, the lot of them
Its sad that this is peoples logic construct.
Maybe I should take over your mind. Then we'll see how you like it.
Then you don't want to live? Hmmm...talk about logic. Or are you a vegetarian? I don't eat anything that is "living", is that it?
It is about that vegetarianshave all right to critizize that but meateaterd dont. That is all.
if you think were this could go im scared
it could end up helping some disabled individuals regain the use of limbs....much more likely than a hi-tech cyborg slavery future
I N S I D E
If you think goverments won't try to develop mind control based on this. You are very naive. Look up MK Ultra and consider if they would try it.. again.
Notice how the MK Ultra project ended during the rise of television. We already have mind control, we call it "advertising", "propoganda", and "salary". Why bother with something so primitive, so overt, so traceable as rigging a computer chip to a brain stem?
Now once the singularity comes along and we augument ourselves voluntarily, that's when I'll worry.
well then lets just abandon all the potential good that can come of this so as not to upset the C.A.V.E. ppl (Citezens Against Virtually Everything) If it were up to you guys we would be cooking rats by a campfire. Do you know anyone that suffers from a physical disability? would you deny them the opportunity to have a better life because your afraid of some old news? sounds like you already lost the mind control battle. Fear controls you
So Basically Its A CYBORG DETECTIVE BEETLE
i never thought i see some one control a bug with a wii mote of all things lol.
This is very interesting, but all the possible applications listed at the end of the video can already be done with a quad-copter with great reliability and precision.
Quads are not stealth, they also cannot fly for as long as an insect. By controlling a fly one could practically fly 24/7.
Valken Good point. Of course I have know Idea exactly what the future will hold, but I think those problems are much easier to solve than the issues with rc bugs.
Amazon Prime Air already showed intrest in it, they said it yould be a good for delivering tiny things quiet and fast.
Joey A For such machine it will cost a lot. Controlling beetles is way better, they can fly for longer, no batteries or fuel, just food, not that expensive and way stealthier overall.
I need this implant for the gym
right, you would not even have to go to the gym, just press the button, and your muscles contract on your sofa/feeding tank.

Henry Han i meant like, living nature.. with a mind..
john pardon I get you now. However, if you are talking about mind. What is mind? Do livestocks we eat have mind? Have we stop killing and eating them?
Henry Han that's a good point. to be honest, i am christian so i also look at it from a religious way.. in the bible is written that men has to take care of his garden (the world) (and yes, we are doing a terrible job..) but there is also written that we can skin and kill animals for our personal needs. i think making robots of beetles isn't really how its meant to be..
Henry Han but from a non religious perspective its difficult to defend.
i feel so bad for the Beatles.
your profile doesn't tell me?
Moses98 #beatlelivesmatter
The majority of insects don't have nocireceptor! These receptors relay sensory information of pain in other organism. So these beetles are most likely not in any kind of pain from this exerimental procedure
Personally, I don't feel bad for the Beatles. They've done quite well for themselves. Although John Lennon's death was a tragedy. The beetles in this video on the other hand, I do feel quite bad for.
The most ironic part about this post is that you profile picture is JC Denton from Deus Ex. Cause now i'm just imagining JC in his low, mono toned voice going: "I feel so bad for the Beatles..." while being all cyborged out himself.
I hope we can use this technology in the future once it’s been refine and with the proper ethics we could implanted into people to let’s say given the ability to walk again.
There are no proper ethics for this as there are no proper ethics for sodomizing a child.

"Peacefully" xD
Imagine if these could be applied to humans, i push a button in an app and boom I'm lifting in the gym like a beast. Or you know, help paralyzed people walk again...
darknecropsy Have fun getting hacked.
or turned into a slave
actually this is already utilized to some extent
Or just buy a drone...
but can your drone run on food?
RCP8888 This needs a battery too, for recieving the signal from wii controller
yeah but receiving a signal need much less energy than flying... also you could implement a tiny chip that generates electricity from the body heat of the beetle.
RCP8888 They're cold blooded, so a TEG wouldnt work
it is more practical to just develop tiny drones. Creating cyborg beetles is stupid.
This technology utilising direct electrical stimulation to paralyzed muscles certainly would be wonderful for the rehabilitation of individuals with spinal cord injuries
Sounds like a much better application of this kinda thing than hijacking innocent beetles

Pussy boi

It’s a bug. Relax and let science be science my duhuude
It's not like the beetle feels pain or other emotions, it's basically just a living robot. The electrical signals stimulate the legs muscles and cause them to react in the same way your muscles would if you touched a live high voltage wire. The signals are more powerful than the beetle's nervous system so it overrides it. There's nothing morbid about it really.
So basically the electrical frog trick but on beetles and with wires. How simple.
