Cockroaches have been considered pests for centuries, but now, thanks to science, they could become allies of humanity. Researchers have managed to implant electrodes in cockroach antennae , turning them into remotely controllable cyborgs , opening up new possibilities in search, rescue, and espionage .

Scientists placed tiny microchips and electrodes in the nervous systems of these insects. This allows them to control the direction in which the insects walk using electrical signals, guiding them to specific locations.

Because they are small and resilient, cockroaches can enter hard-to-reach areas , such as collapsed buildings after an earthquake or narrow tunnels in rescue operations.

Future applications

• Rescue missions : Equipped with sensors and cameras, they could help find trapped people.
• Espionage : They can be used in intelligence operations without being detected.
• Biotechnology research : Their adaptability makes them ideal for testing new technologies.

This breakthrough demonstrates that nature and technology can be combined to create innovative solutions with incredible applications.
