The flattened bodies of cockroaches can get into places that no human can, without leaving a trace. They'll eat just about anything, and they're darn near indestructible. All these qualities make ...

In a lab in Singapore, robots are hard at work — not on cars or gadgets, but on cockroaches. Grab a chair, you might want to sit down for this one. This work is part of a breakthrough system ...

As if cockroaches weren’t creepy enough already, researchers have found a way to make them even more so. A team at the University of Osaka is using UV light helmets to direct cyborg cockroaches.

Researchers at Nanyang Technological University in Singapore have unleashed an army of remote-controlled cyborg cockroaches to swarm a target in a sandy test area. The motivation behind the creepy ...

Fitzgerald says cyborg search and rescue beetles or cockroaches might be able to help in disaster situations by finding and reporting the location of survivors and delivering lifesaving drugs to ...

Fitzgerald says that although the work might seem futuristic now, in a few decades, cyborg insects could be saving lives. He’s not the only roboticist creating robots from living organisms.
