Computer-Controlled Cyborg Cockroaches
A team of researchers, led by Hirotaka Sato, from the Nanyang Technological University in Singapore have created swarms of cyborg cockroaches capable of navigating an obstacle course autonomously. More specifically, a Madagascar hissing cockroach that can be controlled by a computer and steered.



These swarms of remote-controlled cyborg cockroaches can crawl to a target location while avoiding obstacles and each other. Researchers hope that such swarms could one day be contained inside large robots and then released at the push of a button to perform tasks that would otherwise take too long for a single machine,like taking sensor readings or hunting for specific objects.
