RoboRat vs RatDroid

There's this:

Robotic rodent inspects pipelines | Engineering360 (globalspec.com)

Rat robot crawls through narrow passageways | Engineering360 (globalspec.com)

That is the rat-robot I was talking about,having recently read about.

I am seeking info on the living mammal rat that is remotely controlled in order for me to do a comparison of the skill sets of each, and programming required for each.

I think the mammal rat is easier to control,and is partially autonomous,insofar as avoiding obstacles and seeking a goal.

I can see the advantages of a mechanical rat in toxic environments that would kill a mammal,such as radiation,chemicals,etc.,but otherwise,I think the warm blooded rat would be better.

Thanks for the feedback!

Rat abuse will not be tolerated....

"You dirty brother! You killed my rat!"

The info I had about the mammalian remote control rat is over 20 years old.Perhaps now,the have reduced the size of the external components to fit a cockroach...they use the same type steering,using antennae.

I am sure that some black-op type agencies already have a working insect... Perhaps even a flying one.When they bug your room,they really bug it.

Many, many years ago, my father was involved in weapons development efforts with the national laboratory system...Lawrence Livermore, Oak Ridge, Sandia, etc.... and he told me once of a project where they attempted to do the same remote control of mules...with intent of packing in small nuclear weapons. Know-how coupled with ill-intent...YIKES.

A long time ago,about 40 years or so,I read a sci fi story about humans who were implanted with electrodes into their brain's pleasure center.The stimulation was more addictive than any drug,and they would do literally anything to get a fix.The signal was encrypted so that the only ones able to activate it were the controllers of that particular human.Sci Fi seems to be predictive;I just hope this one is wrong.

Tons of fun.....for about 5 min

Hmm! They no longer require electrodes up your nose, they have trained you to dance, be obedient, be scared, and fully controlled by managing your entire life. Electrodes are no longer required.

Not only are robots putting people out of work, they are now picking on rats. Who or what is next? Mice, dogs, (they have been done), mules/donkeys, oops, (done), snakes, (done), fish, (done), bees, (done), birds, (done).

Well the upside is, we don't need to clean up any turds or get Wheals disease. But if they do mice, then Malawians will go hungry.

Hunger is the best chef.A hungry person will not be picky if he is truly starving.

A mouse is no different than a squirrel or rabbit,except for size.

Mice and rats were eaten in the 1600's without any thought.

Modern humans have been mentally conditioned by proper etiquette to avoid certain foods.

Insects are part of many cultures' menu.

All of that conditioning goes away when the hunger is severe enough.

Shackleton's men were forced to dig up seal entrails and eat them to survive,but they did survive.

Not to mention Donner Pass,which is well documented.

Black Forest mouse mousse,Delicious!

Moose mouse?
