"The remote-controlled 'roborats' can be made to run, climb, jump or turn left and right through electrical probes, the width of a hair, implanted in their brains. Movement signals are transmitted from a computer to the rat's brain via a radio receiver strapped to its back. Ê One electrode stimulates the 'feelgood' center of the rat's brain, while two other electrodes activate the cerebral regions which process signals from its left and right whiskers." [MacInTouch]

Y'know, I've said it before, and I'll say it again. We don't have enough rats in the world. Technologies like this will really help fill in those sections of the world that are rat-deprived.

I know, I know, it's cool robotics, I'm just cranky this morning
