Swarms of cyborg cockroaches can be remote-controlled to coordinate on tasks and crawl to a target destination. Hirotaka Sato at Nanyang Technological University in Singapore and colleagues had previously demonstrated that a Madagascar hissing cockroach (Gromphadorhina portentosa) could be controlled by a computer, and steered like a robot.

A swarm of remote-controlled cyborg cockroaches can navigate to a target location while avoiding obstacles and each other. Researchers say that such swarms could be contained inside large robots and released on cue to do jobs that would take too long for a single machine, such as taking sensor readings or hunting for specific objects.

Researchers say larger robots could house such swarms and release them to carry out distributed jobs such as taking sensor readings or tracking down objects.
