Russian startup Neiry has announced the successful execution of its inaugural controlled flight and subsequent return to base, achieved by implanting tiny electrodes into the motor cortex of a pigeon's brain via minimally invasive surgery. These electrodes were then linked to a lightweight electronic backpack worn by the pigeon. Dubbed PJN-1, this technology metamorphoses live pigeons into cyborg biological drones. The electronic backpack is ingeniously designed to incorporate solar power, communication, and navigation modules, enabling the support of extended-duration missions. Neiry has clarified that the technology is earmarked for civilian uses, including infrastructure inspections and regional ecological monitoring. The company also underscored that the experimental process strictly adhered to surgical standards and underwent rigorous bioethical reviews.
