A start-up is developing technology to steer cockroaches autonomously and send them on reconnaissance missions. They are fitted with tiny backpacks that could eventually carry cameras, microphones, and Doppler radar into war zones. “They can crawl through tiny spaces, can go up the wall, into pipes, like underground and rubble,” says Stefan Wilhelm, co-founder and CEO of SWARM Biotactics. #coakroach #newtech #research
