Chinese scientists have achieved a shocking new step in robotics technology: they have transformed a living bee into a human-controlled robot. The team from the Beijing Institute of Technology has developed an ultra-lightweight device that connects directly to the insect's brain, allowing total control over its movements.

Bees, which are capable of carrying up to 80% of their body weight in nectar for distances of up to 5 kilometers, have no problem transporting a device weighing just 74 milligrams.

This device contains three microscopic needles that connect to the bee's brain and use weak electrical impulses to direct its flight and movements - left, right, forward or backward.

In tests so far, the robotic bees have obeyed human commands 9 out of 10 times, according to Professor Zhao Jieliang. In a recent scientific publication, he points out that these biological robots have clear advantages over synthetic alternatives: they are more maneuverable, more stealthy and better suited to harsh environments.

For practical applications, these robotic bees are intended for use in covert reconnaissance, military operations, counterterrorism, drug war, and rescue missions. “They inherit a natural ability for camouflage and environmental resistance – which makes them invaluable in the field,” says Zhao.

However, the development is not without challenges. The device still needs an external connection for power supply, as current batteries are too heavy for the bee's body. There are also cases where the insect's legs or abdomen do not respond to commands.

Researchers are working to optimize stimulation signals and integrate more functional modules into the device, so that future robots will have even better environmental perception capabilities and operate independently in complex areas.
