Comments

  1. Diazisla: this is some wild tech, but what if this kind of research gets misused?
  2. Dane: interesting use of robotics on non-mammal creatures
  3. Maya: somebody needs to work on the whole 'not freaking people out' part before this thing's actually going to make it into a field hospital
  4. Talia: don't know if i'm more impressed by the tech or how well they managed not to freak out in that video
  5. Aidenromano: who thought attaching a camera to a cockroach's head was a good idea
  6. Jonas: This is either the most brilliant or most terrifying thing I've seen today - depending on which end of the medication I'm on. How do you ensure the roaches don't just
  7. Noahmorenoxo: this is either a very smart solution or a wild nightmare, can't decide which yet
  8. Theo: remotely controlling medication delivery is one thing but what's the survival rate for the roaches?
  9. Milaokaforxo: I'm more interested in how reliable this tech is in real-world settings, not just labs. Do we know what kind of signal interference might affect their remote control function?
  10. Ghost Kite: remotely controlling medication to someone is a game-changer, but what's the point of the cockroaches being cameras?
