Can A Cyber Roach Save Your Life?March 2, 2016 NC State researchers have developed a ?biobot.? Rather than use a mechanical creation, researchers used live cockroaches equipped with a tiny electronic backpack that could control the insect?s movement. The backpack could detect the location of sounds to move the roach in that direction. Alper Bozkurt, engineering, featured. |

Cyborg Roaches Could Help in Disasters TooFebruary 9, 2016 Two years ago, NC State researchers fitted cockroaches with electrical backpacks complete with tiny microphones to detect the faintest of sounds. The goal, according to engineers, is to use the biobots with high-resolution microphones to differentiate between sounds that matter – like people calling for help – from sounds that don’t matter – like a leaking pipe.
