We are now one step closer to the dream of conquering the world with a million-strong army of robotic roaches. I read a story in Kotaku today about remote controlled cockroaches that are now ...

Proving once again that this is Luc Besson’s world, and we’re just living in it, the world has moved one step closer to the Fifth Element. That’s right, remote-controlled cockroaches. The iBionicS Lab ...

An international team of scientists has created cyborg cockroaches, with electronics wired to their nervous systems that allow them to be remote controlled. The researchers fitted wireless control ...

at North Carolina State University have created a remote-control system to stimulate and steer cockroaches, they reported at the 34th Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in ...

Researchers have engineered a system for creating remote controlled cyborg cockroaches, equipped with a tiny wireless control module that is powered by a rechargeable battery attached to a solar cell.

Given a box full of cockroaches, the first thing most of us would do is try to locate the nearest source of fire. Lucky for the roaches, the team over at Backyard Brains look at things a bit ...

Cockroaches may be considered vermin but one team of scientists has found a way to keep the pests under control - remote control that is. Michigan-based Backyard Brains created an electric backpack ...

Researchers have shown off a 'cyborg' cockroach they can control remotely. The team have been able to accurately steer it to follow complex shapes on the ground. Now they hope to fit it with video ...

Building robots is hard. Making them tiny, maneuverable, durable, and smart enough to find their way around in an unmapped environment—for instance, to find survivors trapped in a building after an ...

What DARPA does with animal test subjects behind closed doors is one thing, but here we have something else entirely: mad-scientist kits that allow anyone at home to control the movement of a ...
