Something will look like Cockroach Siborg

A team from Osaka University in Japan and a team from Dipongoro University in Indonesia have given a superpower to small creatures like cockroaches, which will make them super cockroaches. Scientists have equipped cockroaches with navigation. Created an artificial composition on his body, which turned into a Siborg. Scientists believe that flattened bodies of cockroaches can also go to such places where no human can go. Apart from this, they do not leave any mark and can stay alive for a long time without eating anything. All these qualities make them perfect for search and rescue operations. Scientists hope that these bug-bots can be used to inspect the dangerous debris released after war and natural disaster and even to find out the remaining people and rescuers trapped in trouble.

Scientists involved in this research believe that by converting cockroaches into Sibborgs, some electronic signs can be directed to the target location selected by humans. In this, the anatomy of the biological cockroach developed during the development of millions of years will prove to be helpful. “Small -scale construction of a working robot is challenging,” explains Mochemad Aysto, a mechanical engineer and leading researcher at Dipongoro University; We wanted to remove this obstacle by keeping things simple. In such a situation, by applying electronic equipment on insects, we can avoid small nuances of robotics engineering and focus on achieving our goals. ” These researchers believe that if we give command to a small robot, then they will follow our command, but they will fall and break down in descending the stairs. In such a situation, if we send small robots somewhere in an odd situation, then it will be difficult for them to be safe. But this is not the case with cockroaches.

Researchers further stated that a cockroach can climb walls, cross the perimeter, penetrate into the pipes and even tolerate low oxygen environment. Because of this, we gave him the power of navigation. We tested the cockroaches made in a bumpy road filled with sand, stones and wood. The navigation command was used with restraint to reach its goal, but in addition, that small creature was mostly allowed to find their own way, avoid or overcome obstacles and overcome them and when things were reversed, it was allowed to correct themselves. This algorithm used the natural behaviors of cockroaches (such as chasing and climb) to go around and up to the obstacles. “I believe that our Siborg insect can achieve its objectives with less effort and power than pure mechanical robots,” says Kesuke Morisima, a weight robotics engineer at Osaka University. Of course, it is not clear what cockroaches feel about all this, but these cockroaches will easily cross the places where robots will challenge. Please tell that this research was published in soft robotics.
