- Researchers fitted Giant Burrowing Cockroaches with a removable navigation system that enables them to be remotely piloted through complex terrain and rubble
- The size and strength of the cockroaches also allows them to carry cameras and miniature medical injectors to deliver supervised emergency care to people trapped in collapsed buildings, or caves
- Researchers say the long-term vision is to deploy swarms of specialised cyborg insects to disaster sites, each performing complementary role
No! Bad biotech industry! Down!
Look what you did… Look what you did!
You made a medical device out of a cockroach!
Well? What do you have to say for yourself?
Sorry to disappoint, but these aren’t just devices made to look like roaches. They’re roaches fitted with remote navigation and some medical supplies.
That is so much worse…
Ugh… I adjusted my post.
