This is just a beginning is it? a monkey control the robot? i wonder if that monkey think about flying..and the robot is flying.. after that a new generation of monkey exist, we’ll never see them climbing a tree but controlling the robot to fly above the tree…lol!

fyi all, no chimps are involved in this study whatsoever. that’s not a chimp in the picture either.

So nine comments so far – and no-one thinks doing this kind of thing to chimpanzees is sick and twisted?

If that is a chimp, then chimps aren’t monkeys.

So if it is not a chimp, then chimps are monkeys.

yes it’s a different experiment,hence the part in the description saying it’s from a previous study. Unfortunately I couldn’t find any cool photos of this experiment. Got any, Grad Student? I’ll be glad to post them and link to Nicolelis’ lab, or maybe even post some more scientific writings from them. And while the remote thing may be irrelevant and it’s definitely silly, that doesn’t have to mean bad. It can mean really cool, such as in this context. I, and quite a few others I’m sure, would not have been quite as intrigued by the story had the robot been in the same room.
