2025: Product Announcement
The Neiry group of companies introduced biodron pigeons with neurointerfaces implanted in the brain. The presentation took place on November 25, 2025.
According to Neiry, biodrons are a new product of the technology group. The developers began using live birds with a chip in the brain instead of traditional aircraft. A team of scientists and developers is testing the flight characteristics of biodrons.
InThe model was designated "PJN-1." Externally, the biodron pigeon differs from an ordinary bird only by a neurointerface wire protruding from the head and a backpack with electronics on its back. Visually, the bird looks almost natural, which allows it to be used in an urban environment without attracting excessive attention.
Thanks to the neurochip, the biodron operator can control the bird by loading it with a flight mission. The principle of operation is similar to the control of conventional unmanned aerial vehicles. The operator sets the route and flight parameters through a special controller.
The key difference between a biodron and a trained animal is that there is no need for training. Any animal becomes remotely controlled after a neurointerface implantation operation. Thanks to neurostimulation of individual areas of the brain, the bird itself "wants" to move in the right direction, following a given trajectory.
Neiry's own electrodes are implanted in the pigeon's brain. Electrodes are connected to stimulator, which is located in backpack on bird's back together with controller. The stimulator sends impulses that affect the bird's desire to turn left or right. The system is positioned using GPS and other navigation methods.
Operations are carried out on the flow using a special stereotactic installation. The equipment allows you to place electrodes with high accuracy in the right areas of the brain without using expensive computer and magnetic resonance imaging. Scientists aim for 100% survival of birds during surgery, minimizing risks to animal health[1]
