Scientists Create Cyborg Cockroach for Rescue Ops
14:15 GMT 06.09.2022 (Updated: 10:42 GMT 21.04.2023) Cyborgs are an integration of machine and organism that have long been a topic of debate. While some are worried about a hostile takeover, others foresee potential advantages.
Scientists from the Riken Center for Emergent Matter Science in Japan developed a cyborg cockroach by wiring a tiny backpack with leg-control electrodes into the insect's organism. The device allowed the scientists to remotely control the legs of the cockroach.
The study published in the
journal npj Flexible Electronics explains that cyborg insects could be very useful in monitoring the environment, tracking movements, and coordinating search and rescue missions during natural disasters.
"Advancements in electronics have resulted in the increasing integration of organisms and machines. The miniaturisation and fabrication of low-power consumption semiconducting chips through micro/nanofabrication have resulted in small-organism cyborgs," the scientists said in the study.
"The designed output signals for the stimulation were wirelessly controlled using a module with a negligible signal delay," the paper revealed.
After achieving success in controlling the movement of the cyborg cockroach, the scientists are now conducting more research to add further functionality.
