Scientists just gave remote-controlled cockroaches tiny underwater suits, and the insects kept walking for up to 3 hours because the oxygen trick could help search flooded disaster zones and maybe even extreme worlds like Mars
Search-and-rescue teams may soon deploy a new six-legged ally: a cyborg cockroach equipped with a wearable diving suit. This innovation allows the insects to breathe and navigate underwater for hours, opening up flooded disaster zones previously inaccessible to robots. Researchers developed a miniature oxygen system, enabling these durable Madagascar hissing cockroaches to explore submerged rubble and inspect hazardous pipes, significantly expanding their potential in emergency response.
