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 ...

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 ...

Robots are expected to be active in places where rescue and search by humans are difficult, such as disaster sites and extreme environments, but there are various challenges to equip small robots with ...

Researchers converted a cockroach into a robot that could be someday deployed in disaster areas too dangerous for human search and rescue personnel to enter. The scientists, primarily from the Riken ...

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 ...

SINGAPORE — Scientists in Singapore have industrialised the production of remote-controlled cyborg cockroaches that one day could form a tiny army suitable for disaster search missions. Last month, ...

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 ...

An international team led by researchers at the RIKEN Cluster for Pioneering Research (CPR) has engineered a system for creating remote controlled cyborg cockroaches, equipped with a tiny wireless ...
