Crowbot Jenny is a solitary girl who, despite her generation’s tendency toward communication overload, has trouble relating to her peers. In fact, Crowbot Jenny prefers to talk with non-human species and develops the Crowbot, an instrument that replicates a range of crow calls, to commune with her army of birds.
Sputniko! developed an actual prototype of the Crowbot, after conversations with Professor Nicola Clayton, who has been studying the evolution and development of intelligence of crows at the University of Cambridge.
