One scientist has found a way to study 1,000 generations of animals in a matter of days — using ** live creatures and a lot of robot ***.
By using robots the size of rats,*Dr. Stefan Elfwing of the Okinawa Institute of Science and Tech**logy was able to study evolutionary patterns over thousands of generations without him growing old in the process. In an article published on April 9 in the journal PLOS ONE (http://www.plosone.org/article/info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pone.0093622), Elfwing describes how this could provide a way for scientists to gather information about evolution much faster than before
His study also proves that robots can be used to study animals. Read more... (http://mashable.com/2014/04/14/robot-mice-evolution/?utm_campaign=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial&utm_cid=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial&utm_medium=feed&utm_source=rss)
