Automated Assembly of Remote-Controlled Cyborg Cockroaches for Search and Rescue Missions
Researchers at Nanyang Technological University in Singapore have demonstrated that living insects can be remotely controlled. They equipped Madagascar hissing cockroaches with a “backpack” connected to the insects’ sensory organs via two electrodes. Using radio signals and a microcontroller, researchers could send electrical impulses to make the giant cockroaches move in different directions, slow down, … Read more
