Researchers equip cockroaches with cameras and drug injectors
Researchers have embedded electrodes in live cockroaches and equipped them with cameras and remotely controlled injection devices, according to Wired. The project is intended to create cyborg insects that could support rescue work and deliver medication. The available RSS material does not identify the research team, testing location or the conditions under which the system was demonstrated.
Why it matters
Small remotely controlled insects could reach hazardous or confined spaces that conventional rescue machines cannot.
