This is why scientists are turning cockroaches into robots. Although they have a bad reputation, and for good reason, cockroaches are pretty resilient animals. They have been on Earth for at least ...

Cockroaches are relatively small creatures, enabling them to navigate in tight spaces, rubble, and debris that humans and other robots would struggle to access. It would be handy for things like ...

Researchers have developed a novel method to control insect cyborgs using light, eliminating the need for electrical ...

Do we have the right to turn insects into cyborgs that we can control to do our bidding, including our military bidding, if they feel pain or have preferences or anxieties? Making a cyborg animals can ...

In a breakthrough that blends biology and robotics, researchers at the University of Osaka have created a new type of insect ...

(CNN) --Most people think of cockroaches as household pests. But for a group of American scientists, roaches are a source of robotic inspiration. University of California-Berkeley biologist Bob ...

From fields of grass to cracks in the wall, there's almost nowhere you won't find cockroaches. Now, scientists have created a roach-inspired robot with a rounded shell, which was able to clamber ...

But building robotic insects is still pretty cool. Be sure to check out the well made video detailing some of the project’s build process.

Researchers at Seoul National University, in collaboration with researchers from UC Berkeley, have constructed a tiny jumping roach robot. The mechanism, JumpRoACH, only weighs a few ounces ...

Currently the Biorobotics group at CWRU is developing two lines of robotic devices. One is a large vehicle modeled closely after the joints of the cockroach that are essential for agile walking and ...

This ‘Microspine technology’ enables their T-RHex robot to climb up walls at a slightly ... No doubt we will all now want to build cockroaches that will out perform the T-RHex.
