  • Most consider them pesky critters, but Dr. Alper Bozkurt of North Carolina State University thinks that cockroaches have the potential to save human lives. By hacking their antennae and transforming them into remote-controlled creatures, he believes we can use the cyber roaches as a mobile search and rescue team to help find survivors during natural disasters.

      Sure, cockroaches doesn't need charging, but their transponders do.
      Besides, this technology has lots of flaws. It relies on people making sound to detect them. But what if the person is unconscious?
      Also it is almost exclusively applicable to only earthquakes and similar disasters. What about snowstorms, floods and fires? In order to accommodate all this, it is necessary to switch to mechanical bots.(Or put a backpack on water-bears and hope for the best!)
