From the beginning on of this project I was looking at animals. Humans react nowadays way less to their gut feelings than animals - so if we can't feel anything of the radiation or don't wánt to feel, how do animals react?
There are several written pieces about wireless devices and animals, I mainly used the book 'An electronic silent spring' from Katie Singer (2014). She writes about the impact of wireless devices on ants, bees, frogs and even trees. This information gave the form to how the little crawling robots should look like.
"When Cammaerts and Johansson put a mobile phone on standby mode under the ants’ nest, the ants left their nest immediately, taking their eggs, larvae and nymphs with them. They relocated far from the phone. Once the phone was removed, the ants returned to their original location. After thirty minutes of exposure to a Wi-Fi router, the ants’ speed changed again, as did their foraging behavior. It took them six to eight hours to resume normal foraging.
