Animal–computer interaction (ACI) is a field of research for the design and use of technology with, for and by animals covering different kinds of animals from wildlife, zoo and domesticated animals in different roles. [1] It emerged from, and was heavily influenced by, the discipline of Human–computer interaction (HCI).
The use of basic technology is also a feature of non-human animal species. Tool use was once considered a defining characteristic of the genus Homo. [132] This view was supplanted after discovering evidence of tool use among chimpanzees and other primates, [133] dolphins, [134] and crows.
The pre-technological period, in which other animal species remain today (aside from some avian and primate species) was a non-rational period of the early prehistoric man. The emergence of technology, made possible by the development of the rational faculty, paved the way for the first stage: the tool.
The High-Tech Tools Scientists Use to Track Wild Animals Science in recent years has seen an explosion of wildlife tracking-devices that are enabling new insights and scientific breakthroughs.
Genetic engineering, also called genetic modification or genetic manipulation, is the modification and manipulation of an organism's genes using technology.It is a set of technologies used to change the genetic makeup of cells, including the transfer of genes within and across species boundaries to produce improved or novel organisms.
Productivity-improving technologies date back to antiquity, with rather slow progress until the late Middle Ages. Important examples of early to medieval European technology include the water wheel, the horse collar, the spinning wheel, the three-field system (after 1500 the four-field system—see crop rotation) and the blast furnace.
Living technology is the field of technology that derives its functionality and usefulness from the properties that make natural organisms alive (see life).It may be seen as a technological subfield of both artificial life and complex systems and is relevant beyond biotechnology to nanotechnology, information technology, artificial intelligence, environmental technology and socioeconomic ...
The animals are controlled by the use of radio signals. The electrodes do not move the animal directly, as if controlling a robot; rather, they signal a direction or action desired by the human operator and then stimulate the animal's reward centres if the animal complies. These are sometimes called bio-robots or robo-animals.
