Remote controlled cockroach with implants

Implanted in the nervous system of the cockroach electrodes cause the insect to obey human commands by remote control. To show their art neurobiological American company Backyard Brains, a set of chips borrowed toy robot insect HEXBUG Inchworm, and several cockroaches Blaberus and Aptera fusca. The role of the participants and spectators of the experiment were students from Grand Valley University (USA). The chips that have been implanted in the cockroach, forced her to turn left or right depending on the signal from the remote, blocking natural signals coming from its natural horn antennas.    However, the system requires major reworking: unruly cockroaches execute commands on the remote only in 25% of cases. Prakticheskoto application of the technology in question also remains: developers find it difficult to say what is and what can be used. Theoretically, equipped with a camera-roach cyborg could, for example, be used to search for people in destroyed buildings, but in reality time and the work is very limited due to the small capacity batteries that can carry.
