Scientists experiment with cyborg cockroaches

Singapore: Scientists in Singapore have released an army of remote-controlled cyborg cockroaches to test them for future rescue missions.

The study found that a group of about 20 cyborg Madagascar cockroaches (with small computer backpacks mounted on their backs) could be maneuvered on a sandy ridge.

These cyborg roaches are living cockroaches with technology on their backs that scientists can use to control them.

Researchers at Singapore’s Nien Ying Technological University found in an experiment that they could instruct these cockroaches to move in any direction.

These instructions are given to the cockroaches’ sensory organs through electrodes from backpacks mounted on the cockroaches’ backs.

While scientists can make the cockroaches move left or right, the cockroaches themselves can find their way around obstacles as they normally do.
