Wireless locomotion control of cyborg roach using a recharged battery

An international team led by researchers at the RIKEN Cluster for Pioneering Research (CPR) has 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. Despite the mechanic devices, ultrathin electronics and flexible materials allow the insects to move freely.
In this video:
All electronic components were attached to the dorsal region of G. portentosa. First, we confirmed that the stimulation was not applied before charging the battery. After the simulated one-sun illumination was applied to the organic solar cell module on G. portentosa for 30 min, locomotion control was attempted multiple times, confirming that wireless locomotion control was successfully performed repeatedly.

This has been a Kickstarter project in 2013.
They just added a solar panel^^ You needed a full team for that?

amazing...better yet...how do you prevent decay/autolysis?

[@satepestage3599]

How are you controlling it?

Rare that I will commit on things...but this is questionable ethics, at best!... what are we thinking here people?...end game is?...slavery?....

How u controlling muvementof the creature is it trained or u placed electrods to its brain and force it to muve somehow?

簡直是虐待動物，為何要加裝在活生生動物身上，裝在你們身上不是更好，自己控制自己不要加害動物，一舉兩得

Senza sapere e onorare il perché siete vivi,sottomettete gli altri regni con lo scopo di superare la morte organica e di controllare la vostra stessa specie... questa è la direzione di ciò che definisci progresso... la natura può fare a meno della tua "scienza" .Tu non puoi esistere senza di essa.
