RoboRoach

RoboRoach is a remote-controlled cockroach combined with small electronic components that can connect to its sensory and nervous systems. By attaching microelectrodes to specific nerves, researchers can send electrical signals to direct the cockroach’s movements. This allows the insect to be controlled remotely, effectively turning it into a biological robot. The device can be used for applications such as search-and-rescue missions in disaster areas or environmental monitoring, taking advantage of the cockroach's natural agility and ability to navigate complex terrains. RoboRoach demonstrates innovative ways to integrate biology and electronics for practical, real-world use.
