    Researchers at Japan's RIKEN Research Institute have created a remotely controlled cyborg cockroach equipped with a tiny wireless control module powered by a rechargeable battery attached to a solar cell



    An international team led by researchers at Japan's RIKEN Cluster for pioneer Research (CPR) has designed a system that can remotely control cyborg cockroaches, equipped with a tiny wireless control module connected to a solar cell Powered by the rechargeable battery on the


    Researchers have been trying to design electronic insects that are half-insect, half-machine to help inspect dangerous areas or monitor the environment


    All this is easier said than done


    The research team led by Kenjiro Fukuda of Japan's Institute of Physics and Chemistry conducted experiments with Madagascar cockroaches about 6 centimeters long


    Ultra-thin 0.


    The ultra-thin and flexible organic solar cell, and the way it attaches to the insect, proved to be necessary to ensure the insect's freedom of movement


    Once these components were integrated into the cockroaches along with wires that stimulate the leg segments, the new robots were tested


    "Considering the deformation of the thorax and abdomen during basic motion, a hybrid electronic system of rigid and flexible elements of the thorax and ultrasoft devices of the abdomen appears to be an effective design for the electronic cockroach," Fukuda said
