Cockroaches eat everything and are almost indestructible.

AI-Powered Study Examines How Tracking Tags Affect Cockroach Behavior

This post AI-Powered Study Examines How Tracking Tags Affect Cockroach Behavior appeared first on Entomology Today - Brought to you by the Entomological Society of America. A pair of researchers studying cockroaches evaluated how two different tracking methods—radio frequency ID tags and marker-recognition tags—affect the roaches' behavior. Along the way, they found deep-learning algorithms could dramatically accelerate the processing of animal …

CYBORG COCKROACHES: Merging Biology and Technology for Miniature Robotics

Japanese and Indonesian researchers have recently created cockroaches, using electrodes and sensors. Cockroaches are fascinating insects. Having evolved for 350 million years, they are among the oldest insects on earth. A long story? Whether they owe their ability to withstand various environment or extreme conditions, such as high radiation, which can be fatal for humans. They are also known to have a faster reaction speed than ours (20 millise…

Japanese and Indonesian researchers have recently created cyborg cockroaches, using electrodes and sensors. cockroaches, 350 million-year-old insects Apart from their invasive appearance, cockroaches are fascinating insects. Having evolved for 350 million years, they are one of the oldest insects on Earth. A long history ?that they owe to their ability to resist various environments or extreme conditions, such as high radiation, which can be fat…

Scientists Turned Cockroaches Into Cyborgs, Giving Them Navigation Superpowers

The flattened bodies of cockroaches can get into places that no human can, without leaving a trace. They'll eat just about anything, and they're darn near indestructible.All these qualities make them the perfect steed for search-and-rescue operations, among other more questionable applications, like surveillance. That's why a team from the University of Osaka in Japan and Diponegoro University in Indonesia decided that cyborg cockroaches would b…
