Envisioning armies of electronically controllable insects is probably nightmare fuel for most people. But scientists think they could help rescue workers scour challenging and hazardous terrain. An ...

The flattened bodies of cockroaches can get into places that no human can, without leaving a trace. They'll eat just about anything, and they're darn near indestructible. All these qualities make them ...

Researchers from Nanyang Technological University in Singapore have developed a special machine to automatically turn cockroaches into cyborg roaches. This new machine can fit portable stimulation and ...

How do you create an army of cockroach cyborgs? Why, you enrol the robots, of course. That’s the direction a new preprint study has taken in equipping cockroaches with little backpacks in under 68 ...

Instead of using robots, researchers at Osaka University and Diponegoro University, Indonesia aim to harness the advantages of cyborg insects to aid in disaster relief and safety inspections under ...
