Remote control cockroaches here to help us
Proffesor Hong Llang from Texas A&M University, helped develop a cockroach with a mini computer attached to its back in order to reach "small places" that humans cannot get to.
She said the cockroaches react to stimulation from computer sensors, and are here to help us.
The miniature computer that is wired into the animal's nervous system means at the push of a button, a human operator can control the cockroach.
