The bacteria have chemical brains. That brain is the chemical control system that is in the DNA ring called a plasmid. The DNA plasmid's mission is to control the everyday actions of bacteria. The code that is stored in that DNA is not very complicated.
But that DNA ring is controlling everything that bacteria needs. Copying that DNA code to the electric form is possible to make the control algorithms for the robots. That has limited data handling ability. Those kinds of robots are miniature aerial vehicles or MAVs.
There is the possibility that the MAVs:s will connect with the neurons taken from the bugs. That kind of system can use to find things like chemicals or people from some area. In that case, the need for food is turned to searching for wanted things.
This thing means that the code that controls things like living organisms or robots must not be complicated. Simple but effective code is making the thing acting effectively. By searching things like bacteria and flies is possible to make small and independently operating robots that can make missions like search fire, go in the houses and search things like humans, chemicals, and radioactive material.
When researchers are observing things like flies they are trying to make the model how the fly is looking the route out. The fly does not know that there is no way out through the window. So when it seems that the window is offering the route out, it will start to push itself to the window, and then the fly will start systematically search the point, where it can slip out. That means that not the number of neurons.
But also the way how to use them. And how they are interacting with senses are making the flies so successful organism. The fly has all information inside its DNA and its neurons. They are telling what kind of things are a threat. There are not many actions what the fly can use but it uses its tricks very effectively. And that interaction and way to solve problems can model to the small-size aerial vehicles.
The system of the independently operating robot is basing the idea that the sensors of the system are cooperating with the computers. The infrared cameras, the chemical detector, or the miniaturized Geiger-Müller sensor are leading the robot to the point, where the searched things like radioactive materials or poisonous chemicals are.
The system bases the miniaturized computers that are used in the chip cards. And then for each of the sensors will be connected to their microchip. Each of the microchips is handling only one sensor. And the system is just flying in the direction where it gets the smell of the merchandise that it is ordered for search.
