In recent years, the scene of several major earthquakes, fires and other disasters can be seen in the figure of search and rescue dogs. Search and rescue dogs work in a wide range of areas such as building collapses, mudslides, landslides, avalanches, mountains and water surfaces.
But in addition to search and rescue dogs, do you know that there are also search and rescue cockroaches?
According to CCTV, a Japanese research institute recently implanted electronic devices into real cockroaches, making them semi-mechanical cockroaches that can be remotely controlled.
The researchers attached a 4-micron-thick strip of solar panels to the cockroach's abdomen so that the cockroach's flexibility was not only unaffected, but it could adjust itself even if it fell on its back.
According to reports, because the cyborg cockroach has a strong vitality to survive under radiation conditions, it can operate in extreme environments and complete search and rescue work that is difficult for human beings to do.
The researchers also said that
Since belly deformation is not a function unique to cockroaches, our strategy could apply these techniques to other insects(such as beetles) and possibly even flying insects like cicadas in the future.
Therefore, the design scope of cyborg insects is far more than cockroaches, but also suitable for cicadas, beetles and other insects.
For this news, netizens could not hold back, and they said: Suffocation! Better not save me... ↓
It searched for me, and my last breath was gone.
My slippers were already hungry and thirsty.
Did it search for me? Doesn't it really make me die in place?
Some netizens also feel that this design is also too perverted... ↓
What do you think of this cyborg search and rescue cockroach?
Do you feel the need for it to exist?
