MONKEYS USE ROBOTS TO FLING POO!!! GROSS!!! :) :)

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the technology-continues-to-impress dept.

Bananatree3 writes "A monkey has learned to control a remote arm to fling its own poo at researchers. From the article: " Researchers at Duke University have taught a lab monkey to control the movement of a robotic arm, using only signals from its brain. The monkey's immediate utilization of this new skill was to shower a group of neurobiologists with feces, according to the report by lead researcher Miguel Nicolelis.""
