(VIDEO) Special cockroaches are being developed to search for survivors under the rubble and provide emergency medical assistance

Researchers at the University of Queensland are developing cybernetic cockroaches, known as 'paraborgs', equipped with cameras and mini medical injectors to assist in search and rescue operations after natural disasters. These six-legged robotic insects are designed to navigate through collapsed buildings, caves, or other dangerous environments where human rescuers might struggle. The cockroaches are fitted with electronic components and remote-controlled systems that allow them to deliver life-saving medication to victims trapped under rubble. While the technology has shown promising results, challenges remain in precise positioning and injection accuracy. Scientists emphasize that the cockroaches are anesthetized during the implantation process to ensure their welfare.
