A robotic arm that can automatically turn cockroaches into controllable cyborgs could be used to create swarms of biological robots for search missions.<\/p>\n

Hirotaka Sato<\/a> at Nanyang Technological University in Singapore and his colleagues have previously shown that groups of up to 20 Madagascar hissing cockroaches (Gromphadorhina portentosa<\/em>) equipped with electronic backpacks can be steered across desert-like terrain<\/a>. However, to be used in a real-world search-and-rescue mission, the team calculates that hundreds or thousands of cyborg insects would be needed.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
