Cockroaches are fitted with sensors to transmit signals and assist rescue workers at the scene of a collapsed building or disaster-stricken areas.

According to NBC News, insects are capable of carrying radio transmitters such as a small backpack on their backs and running in buildings to support emergency bridges in damaged or contaminated buildings at the scene. earthquakes, chemical spills or accidents at nuclear reactors.

According to Eadgar Lobaton, assistant professor of electrical engineering at National University of North Carolina, "machine beetles" can send images of environmental conditions in dangerous areas or lifeguards cannot reach a Quick way.

The small backpacks on the cockroaches of the cockroaches carry small chemical sensors to detect carbon dioxide or other harmful chemicals in the air, the sound sensors receive and transmit sound signals from People stuck in dangerous areas.

The team used a software to regulate the insect's natural movements and demonstrated that a cockroach could together draw a sketch of the area in danger, so that humans could shape the area before going deep inside.

Cockroaches are considered natural explorers, in which Madagascar cockroaches are large enough to carry a mini electronic laboratory on their backs. Compared to similar products made entirely by machines, the use of this parasite can save energy naturally.

A study conducted by Lobaton colleagues last year showed that they could control cockroaches movements by stimulating their muscles and antennae, and being able to implant a device inside the abdomen. of a beetle when synchronized with the nervous system and stimulates flight motion.
